HTML minlength attribute

minlength attribute represents the minimum number of characters that a user must enter in the input field. If the value falls below this minlength, input control tells the user to enter the required number of characters.

Example
Try it
Username: <input type="text" name="uName" minlength="10" required>
Password: <input type="password" name="uPass" minlength="8" required>
<input type="submit" name="submit">

Username:

Password:

In the above example, the minlength means the Username should be 10 characters long and the password should be at least 8 characters long. On the contrary, the form will not be submitted.
