Introduction

The Password Field is standard HTML Input to capture user input, but disguise each character with an asterisk (*) instead of displaying the entered digits. They offer a user on-screen privacy while he or she is entering a password.

  1. Start the Joget Server and open the App Center.

  2. Log in as admin and click on the Design New App button. (see Figure 1)

    1. Form ID: passwordField
    2. Form Name: Password Field
    3. Table Name: tutorial
