How to create Password box in HTML Forms

You can add a password box to your form. This is identical to a text box in its appearance. The only difference is that when you type in the box the characters are replaced by asterisks ( * ). It's important to remember that although a password box hides the text from prying eyes, the data is not encrypted in any way. If you use METHOD=Get instead of Post, the password would show up in the address line of the browser.

The code for a password box is this:

<INPUT TYPE="Password" SIZE="20" MAXLENGTH="8">

The MAXLEGTH attribute is the maximum number of characters that can be entered into the password text box. SIZE is how wide you want the password box to be.
