Password input type field will not display cookie value, why?

[mb22]

I have input type password field .... which I try to populate on load together with a userid type textbox field.

The textbox field load with my cookie userid value .. but the password field does not. It shows blank even though the cookie value was assigned.

How can I display the password field with the user password already prefilled!

You cannot assign to a "password" field.

The user is obligated to type that every single time. It's a browser feature that can't be circumvented. That field is read-only from the DOM.
