In forms why we need name="username" , name="password" attributes? There is no change without both of them in output.

Question

<input type="text" name="username"/>
<input type="password" name="password"/>

Answer 1

The name attribute specifies the name of an <input> element.

The name attribute is used to reference elements in a JavaScript, or to reference form data after a form is submitted.

Note: Only form elements with a name attribute will have their values passed when submitting a form.

And we can use placeholder attribute also, to know specifically. thank you.
