Liveview form binding password inputs

hello, (im new to liveview)
There is a section in the liveview form binding for password inputs which says:

Blockquote Password inputs are also special cased in Phoenix.HTML. For security reasons, password field values are not reused when rendering a password input tag. This requires explicitly setting the :value in your markup, for example:

<.input field={f[:password]} value={input_value(f[:password].value)} />
<.input field={f[:password_confirmation]} value
{input_value(f[:password_confirmation].value)} />

what does password field values are not reused when rendering a password input tag mean? what effect does it have?

Let’s say you render a form for an existing user which has email and password fields, the email field will be populated with the user’s email address but the password field will be blank.

In addition to this, I think the password field will also get reset when doing submit if you don’t specifically set the input value.
