## password selector

Description: Selects all elements of type password.

- #### version added: 1.0jQuery( ":password" )

`$( ":password" )` is equivalent to `$( "[type=password]" )`. As with other pseudo-class selectors (those that begin with a ":") it is recommended to precede it with a tag name or some other selector; otherwise, the universal selector ( "*" ) is implied. In other words, the bare `$( ":password" )` is equivalent to `$( "*:password" )`, so `$( "input:password" )` should be used instead.

### Additional Notes:

- Because `:password` is a jQuery extension and not part of the CSS specification, queries using `:password` cannot take advantage of the performance boost provided by the native DOM `querySelectorAll()` method. For better performance in modern browsers, use `[type="password"]` instead.

## Example:
