How to Create Password Fields

A password field comes in extremely handy when creating a web page. Whether you want people to use a password to access your site, or to create a password when they join, the password field helps you in both of these areas. Using simple HTML, it only takes a few minutes to add one to your web page. Here's how to create a password field with HTML.

Instructions

1. Open the HTML document for the website you want to add the password to.

2. Find the section of the document where you want the password field to appear.

3. Insert the following code into your HTML document:
   <form action=" ">
   Password:
   <input type="password" name="password">
   </form>

4. Replace <form action= " "> with the proper format for how you want the site to react to the information. For example, <form action="webaddress.com" method="post"> would send it to the website you entered.

5. Save your document and check that the necessary changes were made to your web page.

Tips & Warnings
