jb-password-input

jb-password-input

jb-password-input is a password-focused extension of jb-input. It keeps the JB Design System input UI while adding native password masking, a visibility toggle button, and optional minimum-length validation.

• Uses the shared jb-input label, message, validation, form association, and styling behavior.
• Keeps the inner native input type as password unless the user presses the visibility toggle.
• Adds an eye button in the end section to show or hide the password.
• Provides a simple minLength property for built-in password length validation.

When to use

Use jb-password-input for password, passphrase, PIN-like secret text, and credential fields that need password masking and a show/hide button.

Use jb-input for normal text fields. Use a custom validation list when password rules need more than minimum length, such as requiring numbers, symbols, or mixed casing.

API reference

jb-password-input extends jb-input. For shared attributes, properties, events, methods, validation, form association, and CSS parts, see the jb-input API.

Password properties

name	type	default	description
minLength	number | null	null	Minimum accepted password length. Set to null or undefined to disable the built-in length validation.
isPasswordVisible	boolean | undefined	undefined	Current visibility state toggled by the eye button.

Events

Password value events are inherited from jb-input.

event	description
input	Fired on user edits.
change	Fired when the value changes and is committed.
invalid	Fired when validation fails.

Value

const passwordInput = document.querySelector('jb-password-input');

passwordInput.value = 'new-secret';
console.log(passwordInput.value);

Minimum length

Use minLength for the common minimum-length rule.

const passwordInput = document.querySelector('jb-password-input');

passwordInput.minLength = 8;

passwordInput.minLength = null; // disables the built-in minimum length rule

For more password rules, use the inherited validation.list.

passwordInput.validation.list = [
  {
    validator: ({ value }) => /[0-9]/.test(value),
    message: 'Password must include a number',
  },
];

Visibility toggle

The component renders an eye button in the end section. Clicking it toggles isPasswordVisible, changes the inner input type between password and text, and updates the icon state.

The component ignores attempts to set the input type; use jb-input when you need a non-password input type.

CSS variables

jb-password-input uses jb-input internally. jb-input CSS variables and parts also apply.

CSS variable name	description
--jb-password-input-eye-color-active	Eye icon color while the password is visible.
--jb-password-input-eye-color	Eye icon color while the password is hidden.

jb-password-input {
  --jb-password-input-eye-color: #525252;
  --jb-password-input-eye-color-active: #0f766e;
}

Accessibility notes

• Shared label, message, validation, form association, focus, and accessibility behavior come from jb-input.
• The password value is submitted through the inherited form-associated value.
• The visibility toggle changes the inner input type to text, so avoid using it where showing the secret is not acceptable.

AI agent notes

• Import jb-password-input once before using <jb-password-input>.
• Use .value exactly like jb-input; the password-specific component only changes masking, visibility toggle, and optional length validation.
• Set minLength as a JavaScript property, not as an HTML attribute.
• Do not set type; the component controls the inner input type and ignores type changes.
• The end section is used by the built-in visibility toggle.
• This package includes custom-elements.json and points to it with the package.json customElements field. The field is documented by the Custom Elements Manifest project in Referencing manifests from npm packages.
• In custom-elements.json, exports.kind: "js" describes JavaScript/TypeScript exports and exports.kind: "custom-element-definition" maps the jb-password-input tag name to JBPasswordInputWebComponent.
