About password fields in interactive forms

You can control access to a form using a password field and a script. The password field provides a number of options:

•	A character-masking option that enables you to specify a character that masks the data the user enters. The password itself does not display in the password field

•	An edit pattern, which describes the syntax for entering data into the password field at run time

•	A validation pattern, which is used to validate user input at run time

•	A setting that specifies the password field as required, recommended, or optional, and includes a message for prompting users to enter a recommended or required value

Note:

The capture of information and the display of characters in the field is for visual purposes only. No attempt is made to hide the value of the field from the programming interfaces or when submitting data. If you want to secure your information, you must use a secure link (such as SSL) to encrypt the data as it is transmitted.
