PasswordCredential()

The PasswordCredential() constructor creates a new PasswordCredential object. In supporting browsers, an instance of this class may be passed the credential from the init object for global fetch().

Syntax

new PasswordCredential(passwordCredentialData)
new PasswordCredential(htmlFormElement)

Parameters

Either of the following:

passwordCredentialData

An object with the following properties:

• iconURL: (Optional) the URL of a user's avatar image.
• id: The ID of the user signing in.
• name: (Optional) The name of the user signing in.
• password: The password of the user signing in.

htmlFormElement

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.

Examples

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

Starting with the form element.

<form id="form" method="post">
  <input type="text" name="id" autocomplete="username" />
  <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.

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