HTMLAreaElement: password property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.

The password property of the HTMLAreaElement interface is a string containing the password component of the <area> element's href. If the URL does not have a password, this property contains an empty string, "".

This property can be set to change the password of the URL. If the URL has no host or its scheme is file:, then setting this property has no effect.

The password is percent-encoded when setting but not percent-decoded when reading.

See URL.password for more information.

Value

A string.
