How to hide password when you inspect using browser

I need to hide username and password when inspect using browser. I tried form login but there also it is not working.

When F12 is pressed, in background it shows the username and password once we logged in. I need to hide that information due to security reasons.

Browser developer tool will show the unencrypted password by design in both http and https. Please refer to the following stackoverflow page: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16306839/should-data-in-an-https-request-appear-as-encrypted-in-chrome-developer-tools

Please refer to my previous response. This is not a bug and works per design,
