Web/API/URL/password

The password property of the URL interface is a USVString containing the password specified before the domain name.

If it is set without first setting the username property, it silently fails.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

Syntax

const passwordString = url.password
url.password = newPassword

Value

A USVString.

Examples

const url = new URL('https://anonymous:[email protected]/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/password');
console.log(url.password) // Logs "flabada"
