"password" type is like "text" but it will show star (*) instead of what you have typed. For example if you entered 12345 then you will see *****.

If you want to see what you have typed then open "inspect element" of browser and change type = "password" to type = "text" now it will show you what you have written.

This trick can also be used to hack someone password. For example if someone by mistake saved password in browser and you want to see what he/she has entered in password then you can see using this trick.

Password is nothing but it's a actually text it can be anything like number with character, numbers only, characters only, it can be anything when you enter in password field it will show you star (*) instead of actual text. The main purpose of this is to keep you safe, for example suppose you are at public place and you are entering something in normal text field then people can easily see what you have typed but when you enter anything in password text field then no one can see what you have typed because of start (*).
