Protected Text Field

Introduction

The Protected Field plugin allows users to secure sensitive data entry by requiring a passcode to view or edit field values.

Plugin Info

Plugin Available in the Bundle:

  1. Protected TextField Plugin

This plugin bundle is compatible with Joget DX 8.

Expected Outcome

When using the Protected Text Field, users will see "** Value Protected **" displayed if the field contains any data, along with a lock icon indicating that the content is secured. Attempting to view or edit the field will prompt the user to enter a passcode. Only after entering the correct passcode will the actual value become visible and editable
