Please Help
In my application I need the user to type their password everytime they
perform a certain task. I am using the inputbox function for this but anyone
looking over their shoulder can read their password as they type. Is their a
way I can cause a * to show instead of the actual letters?
Thanks in advance.

Instead of using the Inputbox function you should probably create a custom
form and for the password field set the InputMask property to 'Password'.

Hi-
In design view of the form, open the properties window for the control where
the user enters their password. Go to the data tab and use the Input mask
wizard to assign a password mask for this control.

Thanks Sandra & Betsy
I previously tried that bu since I was calling the form from a form module
in VB code, It would open the form and continue the VB code without waiting
for a typed password. Is there a way I can use docmd openform ... then wait
for the response, then continue the calling code where it left off?
Thanks again

Yes, use the acDialog option of the Windowmode parameter of the openform
command. This will suspend the code until the opened form is either
hidden or closed.
docmd.OpenForm "frmMyForm",,,, ,acDialog

Hi there,
I've read in a few places that you should *never*
store original passwords in a mySQL DB.
Now i wonder if you encrypt it (with MD5 ?), how should
i create a lost password function, so the pass could be
sent to a corresponding e-mail address?
Greetings Frizzle.

I’m writing a web application that needs to keep passwords in a database.
These passwords are for third-party services and are different from the

I don’t like storing this sensitive info as plain text and one-way hashing

research and it seems that symmetric encryption algorithms (blowfish, AES…)

Dear All,
I started using Python just a few days back and there was a requirement of an assigned project to change the user Password through script without user interaction. I could write the following peace of code, which uses Pexpect for the same. The mentioned Poc may certainly help others, incase they need some requirement like this.
