password-field-security

Review password fields for security and ease of use. Check autocomplete settings, accessible visibility controls, strength indicators, and password manager support, then verify relevant browser and HTTP behavior in an environment resembling production.

OriginalShow the original description

Use when reviewing headers, forms, cookies, or third-party integrations related to Secure password input fields. Validate the effective browser and HTTP behavior in a production-like environment.

AI rating80/ 100See how to install

Good for

  • Reviewing login and registration forms
  • Checking password manager compatibility
  • Improving accessible password visibility controls
  • Verifying password handling before release

Overview

What it does

password-field-security reviews password fields for security and ease of use, then identifies what needs fixing. It checks type='password', the different autocomplete values needed for login and registration, and input names that password managers can recognize. The review also covers accessible show/hide buttons, password strength and requirement displays, and whether passwords are stored or transmitted in plain text.

When it helps

Use it when reviewing a login screen or registration form. It also helps when you want to check actual browser and HTTP behavior in an environment resembling production, alongside the code itself.

Example requests

  • “Review the password field in this registration form and identify autocomplete and visibility toggle problems.”
  • “Update the input names and autocomplete values to support password managers.”
  • “Inspect the relevant headers and cookies, and show the specific responses or behavior that cause problems.”

Notes

Verifying behavior requires examining actual responses in an environment resembling production. Detailed implementation examples and guidance for individual frameworks are provided in the accompanying references/rule.md.

This overview was written by AI (OpenAI Codex) from the public SKILL.md. Check the original below for the exact behavior.

Secure password input fields

Properly implemented password fields improve security by working with password managers, helping users create strong passwords, and providing accessible controls for all users.

Quick Reference

  • Use type='password' with correct autocomplete attribute
  • Provide accessible show/hide toggle for password visibility
  • Show password strength indicator with requirements
  • Never store or transmit passwords in plain text
  • Support password managers with proper input names

Check

Verify password fields use type='password', have proper autocomplete values, and include accessible show/hide toggles.

Fix

Implement password fields with autocomplete='new-password' or 'current-password', accessible toggle buttons, and optional strength meters.

Explain

Explain security and UX best practices for password fields including autocomplete attributes and accessible reveal functionality.

Code Review

Review server config, headers, forms, and integration points related to Secure password input fields. Flag exact responses, cookies, or browser behaviors that violate the rule, and verify them against the effective production-like response.
