+the typed input from visual inspection.

+
+You should note that the [classname]#PasswordField# hides the input only from
+"over the shoulder" visual observation. Unless the server connection is
+encrypted with a secure connection, such as HTTPS, the input is transmitted in
+clear text and may be intercepted by anyone with low-level access to the
+network. Also phishing attacks that intercept the input in the browser may be
+possible by exploiting JavaScript execution security holes in the browser.

+The [classname]#PasswordField# does not have its own CSS style name but uses the
+same [literal]#++v-textfield++# style as the regular [classname]#TextField#. See
+<<dummy/../../../framework/components/components-textfield#components.textfield.css,"CSS
+Style Rules">> for information on styling it.
