##### url_base::remove_password

Remove the password.

###### Synopsis

    url_base&
    remove_password();

###### Description

This function removes the password from the userinfo if a password exists. If there is no userinfo or no authority, the call has no effect.

###### Remarks

The interpretation of the userinfo as individual user and password components is scheme-dependent. Transmitting passwords in URLs is deprecated.

###### Example

    assert( url( "http://user:pass@example.com" ).remove_password().authority().buffer() == "user@example.com" );

###### Postconditions

    this->has_password() == false && this->encoded_password().empty() == true

###### Complexity

Linear in `this->size()`.

###### Exception Safety

Throws nothing.

###### BNF

    userinfo      = [ [ user ] [ ':' password ] ]

    user          = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims )
    password      = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" )

###### Specification

- 3.2.1. User Information (rfc3986)
