SPasswordField <s-password-field> ​

A text input for passwords that masks what is typed. SPasswordField is the typed Vue 3 wrapper for Shopify's Polaris <s-password-field> web component.

ts
import { SPasswordField } from 'polaris-vue-elements'

Best practices ​

  • Work with password managers. Set a fitting autocomplete value, such as new-password or current-password, so password managers can help merchants generate and save strong passwords.
  • State the rules up front. List every password requirement before merchants start typing, instead of revealing them only after an invalid entry. This avoids frustration and abandoned forms.
  • Guide merchants creating a password. Give live feedback on password strength and explain what would make it stronger, rather than simply enforcing rules without context.
  • Let merchants paste. Password managers and similar tools depend on pasting, and blocking it pushes merchants toward weaker passwords they can type from memory.
  • Treat client-side checks as feedback only. Always validate the password on your server, because browser constraints are easy to bypass. Client-side validation is there to respond quickly, not to provide security.
vue
<SPasswordField label="New password" autocomplete="new-password" details="Use at least 12 characters." />

Example ​

Length: 0

vue
<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { SPasswordField } from 'polaris-vue-elements'

const value = ref('')
</script>

<template>
  <SPasswordField label="Password" placeholder="Enter your password" v-model="value" />
  <p>Length: {{ value.length }}</p>
</template>

v-model ​

v-model on <SPasswordField> binds to the value property and listens for the input DOM event.

template
<SPasswordField v-model="value" />

is equivalent to:

template
<SPasswordField :value="value" @input="value = $event.target.value" />
