JSF <h:inputSecret> Tag

It is a standard password field which accepts one line of text with no spaces and displays it as a set of asterisks as it is entered. In other words, we say, it is used to create a HTML password field which allows a user to input a string without the actual string appearing in the field.

Example:

<h:inputSecret value="#{user.password}" maxlength="10" size="15" 
required="true" requiredMessage="Password is required"></h:inputSecret>

JSF renders it as below HTML
