HTML 4.0 fill-out forms

A password field works the same as a text field, but characters entered are shown on the screen as asterisks (“*”) so that onlookers cannot tell what is being typed:

<input type="password" name="fieldName" value="defaultText"
    size="width" maxlength="capacity">

where the values of the name, value, and maxlength attributes are the same as those of the text field above.
