# password

The password conforming to RFC 1808. (read-only)

```
var password: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

This property contains the password. Any percent-encoded characters are not unescaped. If the receiver does not conform to RFC 1808, it contains `nil`. For example, in the URL `http://username:password@www.example.com/index.html`, the password is `password`.
