.Net MVC Html.Password tutorial with examples

When developing web applications, it is important to ensure that sensitive user information, such as passwords, is protected. One way to achieve this is by using the Html.Password helper in .NET MVC.

The Html.Password helper is a built-in method in .NET MVC that allows developers to create a password input field in an HTML form. This helper generates the HTML markup necessary to create a password input field, and also provides functionality to mask the password as it is being typed in.

Here is an example of how to use the Html.Password helper in a .NET MVC view:

@Html.Password("Password")

In this example, Password is the name of the input field, which will be used to identify the value of the password when it is submitted. The Html.Password helper will generate an HTMLinput element with the type attribute set to password, which will cause the user's input to be masked as they type.
