password

password fields are identical to string fields except that the user's input is visually obscured, they do not support the textarea option, and they are not indexed for search.

autocomplete

The string supplied to the autocomplete option is used as the value of the autocomplete attribute for the field, as specified in the HTML standards. This feature suggests possible values based on user inputs and previously entered data, streamlining data entry and improving form usability. This also takes a string of off to disable autocomplete for sensitive fields. However, most modern browsers ignore this for password fields. In situations where you are implementing a user management page and an administrator will be adding a password for another user pass a string of new-password to truly disable auto-complete. For detailed information on how the autocomplete attribute works and the values it accepts, refer to the MDN documentation on autocomplete.

Use in templates

You probably do not want to print values from this field in templates, but they can be printed the same way as string fields.
