Password Fields

The password type of field displays the same behavior as the Text type field, but as the user types the text is not shown on the screen (it appears as asterisks (*)). The collection will hold the name of the field equal to the value typed by the user.

 

There is one very important point to understand. The password type performs absolutely no further hiding, encryption or any other security function, other then replacing the typed keys with asterisks on the display. In fact, if you use the GET method, as demonstrated below, the user's password will appear in the address line when the response page is displayed.
