Which form object will you use to mask the value entered by a user?

The password form object is specifically designed to mask user input, ensuring that the characters typed by the user are not visible on the screen. When a user enters a value into a password input field, the browser typically replaces the characters with dots or asterisks. This feature is crucial for protecting sensitive information, such as user passwords, during data entry.

Using a password input type provides an additional layer of security compared to a standard text input, where all characters are displayed as they are typed. Although options like the hidden input type do not display any characters, they are not appropriate for user input as they are intended for storing data that should not be visible to the user at all. Therefore, for the purpose of user interaction while ensuring privacy, the password input type is the ideal choice.
