Hide password

Hi

I have a table that displays a column of passwords.
Is there a way to display the passwords as stars (ie. *********) and only in plain text if you move the mouse over the field?
That would be very comfortable and against prying eyes. :wink:

I think that you could achieve something like that by using javascript, but I really wonder why you would want to do that. The current methods of requesting new password works pretty fine and is by far more secure that what you want to do here.

Hmm I know how to do it in a Form but not on a Grid application.

You would need to add some javascript on the On Record Event.

As a quick fix… try changing to field to a Barcode… :slight_smile:

@nwdbs: Can you share how to do this on a form?

I see, using this function SC is not showing a ‘replace-character’. The field stays empty instead of showing some eg *****. But it’s a way of hiding the real pw and thats the purpose
