Hi @david and @JackVaughan, maybe Glide is already including this feature in the future, but it would be very interesting to include a feature to hide password in fields defined as password (\*\*\*\*\*\*) with an asterisk, would leave the Apps with login and much more interesting password. Thanks ---

Glide does not have a password login feature. Are you asking users to enter passwords as data? This is not secure. ---

@Robert_Petitto has a smart workaround for this kind of feature. Saludos ---

Hello, thanks for the feedback. I say leave a field defined as a hidden password with asterisks (\*\*\*\*\*), even if it is a simple login password as in the example in the photo. ![Login](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/6/b6f3170971a2cea15221cff870bbf2192255cb1f.jpeg) ---

Hello, how would it be? ---

Hi @Zancoper @Robert_Petitto has a solution for what you want to. Months ago I saw this trick on one of his APPs and we talked about it. Saludos ---

Just be aware that this password is not encrypted or hidden at all… It’s just plain text in your spreadsheet. Not secure at all. ---

Yes, I already know that it is not safe and that it is not recommended, but I find it interesting that we had the option to hide the characters of a field defined as a password. ---

Right. And in my app, I clearly labeled my “password” field as a “password hint” field. ---

@ThinhDinh Is this just superficial though? If anyone can inspect the app, and row owners isn’t enabled, the password is still exposed, right? ---

Yes, that’s true. It’s just CSS on the front end. ---

I would not consider this secure by any means. It’s basically a superficial client side authentication, which is pointless because the data is already on the client device to “authenticate” against. Server side authentication is the only way to securely authorize a user BEFORE any data is sent to the device. ---

Right, that’s what I figured. Thanks for confirming.
