apex:inputSecret

An HTML input element of type password. Use this component to get user input for a controller method that does not correspond to a field on a Salesforce object, for a value that is masked as the user types.

This component supports HTML pass-through attributes using the "html-" prefix. Pass-through attributes are attached to the generated <input> tag.

Example

<apex:inputSecret value="{!inputValue}" id="theSecretInput"/>

The example above renders the following HTML:

<input id="theSecretInput" type="password" name="theSecretInput" value="" />
