Something I want you to bear in mind with this password type attribute.

1
00:04.130 --> 00:05.030
Is that (a)

2
00:05.030 --> 00:07.160
it's been around since "pa fell off the bus".

3
00:07.190 --> 00:10.510
That's just an expression saying it's been around for a very, very long time.

4
00:10.520 --> 00:14.000
And secondly (b), this does nothing for security.

5
00:14.030 --> 00:18.050
All it does is it blurs out the text characters on the front end.

6
00:18.320 --> 00:23.270
When the user submits it via a GET request, it's going to be appended to the URL.

7
00:23.270 --> 00:24.410
So just bear this in mind.

8
00:24.440 --> 00:27.710
The password itself does not help you with security.

9
00:27.710 --> 00:30.880
We have to implement other methods in order to make it better.

10
00:30.890 --> 00:32.120
Hope that's making sense.

11
00:32.150 --> 00:33.500
Let's jump back into the lecture.
