Login Form

This lesson is part of How To · All levels

Summary

A login form is a form for entering a username and password. The form is usually displayed in a centralized card with a clear label and a submit button. Login data should be sent via the POST method and processed on the server, not stored or verified only in the browser.

Key points

Each input requires a label that is connected via the for and id attributes.
Input type=password disguises the character of the password.
The credential form should be used with the method="post".
The autocomplete attribute makes it easy for the password manager to fill in the data.
Client-side validation does not replace checking on the server.
