Password field default value

Question

How can I both use the HTML password input and set a text default value that will be readable since the password input will turn the characters into dots or stars? Can I do

Answer 1

Much easier option using ONLY HTML:

Add this code:

onfocus="this.value='', this.type='password'"

to the input field and make sure the type is initially set to text

Example:

input onfocus="this.value='', this.type='password'" value="Password" type="text" title="Password" id="password_field" name="signin_password"
