# percentEncodedPassword

The password URL subcomponent expressed as a URL-encoded string, or `nil` if not present.

```
var percentEncodedPassword: String? { get set }
```

## Discussion

For example, in the URL `http://username:password@www.example.com/index.html`, the password is `password`.

If you set this value to something that is not a valid, percent-encoded string, this class throws an exception.
