HTMLAreaElement: password property

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.
