The minlength attribute can be used to specify the minimum length directly without the need for a regular expression. Here, the minlength=”8″ attribute is used to set the minimum length of the password to 8 characters.
Example:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title> Set Minimum Length of Password with minlength Attribute </title> <style> body { text-align: center; } </style> </head> <body> <form> <label for="password"> Password (at least 8 characters): </label> <input type="password" id="password" name="password" minlength="8" required> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form> </body> </html> |
