PasswordCredential: PasswordCredential() constructor

Either of the following:

data

An object with the following properties:

iconURL Optional

A string representing the URL of an icon or avatar to be associated with the credential.

id

A string representing a unique ID for the credential.

name Optional

A string representing the credential username.

origin

A string representing the credential's origin. PasswordCredential objects are origin-bound, which means that they will only be usable on the specified origin they were intended to be used on.

password

A string representing the credential password.

form

A reference to an HTMLFormElement with appropriate input fields. The form should, at the very least, contain an id and password. It could also require a CSRF token.

TypeError

Thrown if one of the id, origin or password option is empty.

This example shows how to set up an HTMLFormElement to capture data which we'll use to create a PasswordCredential object.

Starting with the form element.

<form id="form" method="post">
  <label for="id">Username:</label>
  <input type="text" name="id" autocomplete="username" />
  <label for="password">Password:</label>
  <input type="password" name="password" autocomplete="current-password" />
  <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="*****" />
</form>

Then, a reference to this form element, using it to create a PasswordCredential object, and storing it in the browser's password system.

const form = document.querySelector("#form");
const creds = new PasswordCredential(form);
// Store the credentials.
navigator.credentials.store(creds).then((creds) => {
  // Do something with the credentials if you need to.
});
