Password Character Dot

The password character dot is a symbol used in HTML to represent a hidden or masked character in a password field. It is often used to provide privacy and prevent the entered password from being visible to others.

Example

To illustrate the use of the password character dot, let’s consider an example of a login form with a password field:

    <label for="password">Password:</label>
    <input type="password" id="password" name="password" value="">
  

In the above example, the <input> element has the type attribute set to “password”, which indicates that it is a password field. When the user enters a password into this field, the characters will be hidden and replaced with the password character dot.

For instance, if the user enters the password “example123”, it will be displayed as “***********” or “••••••••••••” (depending on the browser and operating system) to prevent others from seeing the actual password.

This behavior helps to protect sensitive information and ensure that passwords remain secure.
