The password field in a form is the designated field for users to enter a password in your form. It is a field that doesn’t display what the user types. Each keystroke is represented on the field by a placeholder bullet, so that someone looking over the user’s shoulder can’t see what they type.
In this entry, we’ll show you all the options available for the text field with Nelio Forms.
