You can't do it using prompt.

here is the way

<input type="password" placeholder="enter password" />

You do understand that javascript is clientside, so anyone who wants to find your password can 'view source' and read the password stored in clear text
at the very least hash the password and send only the hash value

just include <input type = "password" placeholder = "Enter your password gere"> in the <form> tag
