Stupid question. If you don't use input[number] on such fields, how do you get a number keypad input on mobile keyboards for them? It's annoying, as a user, to switch to numbers and use the tiny row of numbers to enter credit card info.

Not a stupid question! I believe CSS Tricks has your back.

This.
Further, for credit cards, you can add `autocomplete="cc-number"` to the input and it will provide platform-specific UI for pre-filling the credit card number.
