The password property of the {{domxref("URL")}} interface is a string containing the password component of the URL. If the URL does not have a password, this property contains an empty string, "".

This property can be set to change the password of the URL. If the URL has no {{domxref("URL.host", "host")}} or its scheme is file:, then setting this property has no effect.

The password is {{Glossary("Percent-encoding", "percent-encoded")}} when setting but not percent-decoded when reading.

Value

A string.

Examples

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