Password Data Type Conversion

[scott]

If I store passwords in a field as a "password" type, using code, can they
be converted into their real identity?

Example:

Can *** be converted to "123" with code?

Hi Scott

"Password" is only a special type of input mask. It alters the way the
characters are displayed on the screen, but does not change what is stored.

If you remove the "Password" input mask from a textbox, you will see the
password in plain text. Or, is you assign the contents of a "Password" field
to a string, you can do whatever you want with it.
