How to use POST word for entering password

Question

In forms

Answer 1

I tried but it is taking information normally. it is not hiding information

Answer 2

Do you mean that you want the password to be hidden as a person types it in the form?

Or,

Do you mean that when the password is POSTed (sent), you would like it be encrypted and not show the true password ?

Please elaborate.

Answer 3

Not to show the password. By using method="POST".

Answer 4

You are going to have to use a script to hash or encrypt the password before it arrives at it's destination.

I'd advise not to use MD5 hashing.

In php, I use bcrypt.

I think I chose that method in settings somewhere, locally on my server and remotely. I forget now, but my scripts in php verify a password matches a bcrypt hashed version.

Research bcrypt.

Bcrypt is also irreversible, meaning you cannot get the original password out of it.

Of course, there are other hashing and salting methods.
