## Unreleased

## GOV.UK Frontend v5.3.0 (Feature release)

### New features

#### Use the Passwords input component to help users accessibly enter passwords
#### Use the Password input component to help users accessibly enter passwords

The [Password input component](https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/password-input/) allows users to choose:

The [Password input component](https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/password-input/) allows users to toggle the visibility of passwords and enter their passwords in plain text if they choose to do so.
- whether their passwords are visible or not
- to enter their passwords in plain text

This helps users use longer and more complex passwords without needing to remember what they've already typed.

This change was introduced in [pull request #4442: Create password input component](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/pull/4442). Thanks to [@andysellick](https://github.com/andysellick) for the original contribution.

### Recommended changes

#### Update the HTML for the character count

We've updated the HTML for the character count.
#### Update the HTML for the Character count component

The component wrapper `data-module="govuk-character-count"` and its form group `class="govuk-form-group"` are now combined as the same `<div>`. The hint text used as the count message is now placed directly after the `<textarea>`.

If you're not using Nunjucks macros, then you should:

- move all classes and attributes from the form group `<div>` to the component wrapper `<div>`
- remove the opening `<div>` and closing `</div>` tags used by the form group
- check the count message is now directly after the `<textarea>`

The following example shows some HTML and the difference once it is updated.

#### Remove redundant `role` attributes from elements

We've made minor changes to the HTML of the page template, as well as the header, footer and pagination components.

You can update your HTML to remove the `role` attribute from some elements. These include:
You can update your HTML to remove the `role` attribute from some elements. These include the:

- the `main` role on the `main` element in the template.
- the `banner` role on the `header` element in the header component.
- the `contentinfo` role on the `footer` element in the footer component.
- the `navigation` role on the `nav` element in the pagination component.

- `contentinfo` role on the `footer` element in the Footer component
- `navigation` role on the `nav` element in the Pagination component

These roles were present to support legacy browsers, such as older versions of Internet Explorer. GOV.UK Frontend no longer supports these browsers, so the roles can now be removed.
