Help!!! Creating a Password Field

Hi everyone

Thanks for the nice idea to set password but can we type that password like this'*****' the password cannot be visible to any one but it will be display only in *** format

Hi Sagar

I created another variable called password with a default value of ********, the user enter their text into the text entry field and when control loses focus the text box displays ******** - not sure if that is of any help to you. Only problem is the user will see what is being typed into the text box and it doesn't change till they click outside the text box. See sample

Thanks wendy nice idea..

Glad that Wendy was able to assist you here Sagar :)

John - Do you know the origin of the password.tff font? I'm trying to convince my giant corporation that we're not violating anyone's intellectual property rights if we install it on our training computers.

Hi John,

You may want to message him directly using the 'contact me' button on his profile as I'm not certain he's still subscribed to this thread.

Hi John

Do you now where this font comes from?

Hi Linda,

This thread is a bit older, so you may want to reach out to John directly using the "contact me" button on his profile. 

That's a great idea Russ but how do you manage the subscription once it expires?

Hi Lorrine!

The response here from Russ is a bit dated and I'm not sure if he is still subscribed. You may want to reach out to him directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile for follow-up.

The inability to set a text field as a password field and the lack of field focus controls are a big problem for those of us who don't like to use the automated tools. Please add these features to your development path as soon as possible. 

Thanks James for weighing in here and sharing the things you need to make your course development better. I can definitely understand why this would be handy. I’ll share your suggestion with our development team!

Hi,

I am thinking of embedding a plain HTML web object that will have an input field for password and pass it to a variable in Storyline.

Thanks for your reply.

That sounds like a good alternative. My only concern might be that the URL would not be whitelisted for some firewalls.

What I need is to be able to set up try it simulations for an entire multi-field form. The password fields are just part of the equation and I would need to error check each field as entered.

Hi James,

If you know Web Development like like HTML, jQuery, Javascript or PHP, you can secure your login page while embedding inside Storyline using Web Object method.

I made a prototype and I am able to transfer the inputted value into Storyline but using javascript.

Nice idea!  will have to try this out

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for sharing this.  Love it :)

Hello Everyone,

I have set up a password protected page.  It works great except for a tiny problem.  I would like to have the users not see any texts when they type in the password.  They should see only '****'.  Even when they type in the correct password, they should see only *****.  This is a protection mechanism.  My password is 'goodluck'.  

Any help will be fantastic.  Thanks everyone :)

Hi Indrani!

Did you take a look at installing the font shared in this thread here? 

I was able to install it and apply it to your example:

Thanks, Leslie.  I did take a look.  However, I was thinking, some users  may not have the 'password' font installed in their machines.

Thanks again.  Do you have any other suggestion.  But I agree, this is a great workaround.  Love this community :)

Ah, gotcha.

I will defer to the design experts of our community then Indrani :)

Good luck with your search.

Thank you, Leslie.

You and this community are THE best 😊
Meanwhile I am having fun with the ‘password’ font !!!!
