URL: 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 July 2015.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The password property of the URL interface is a string containing the password component of the URL. 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.

Value
