Hello NocoBase Community,

I am new, but very happy user of NocoBase as it is an extremely modern and flexible application builder. Congratulations to this great application.

I need to store passwords for agent users in NocoBase and was starting to use the field ‘password’, but when adding new rows, all of the text fields are saved except the password field. Also, when editing the row, the password field is empty and can be filled with new password, but when submitting the change, all will be saved except the password value.

Is there any additional settings I need to do to save the password or did I miss something?

I checked this behavior on both, self-hosted environment as well as on Demo Environment of NocoBase.

thanks a lot in advance for your support.

Best regards, Michael

The password is a special field, and for security reasons, the old password is not displayed during editing. It’s recommended to separate the password field for editing, such as adding a “Change Password” action, rather than mixing it with user profile editing.

Hello NocoBase support,

@support thanks for your fast reply.
I want to use the password field for masking sensitive data in order to hide the content during presentation resp. “someone looking over my shoulder”. It needs to be used for further processing as it is a password of an agent or a token. Therefore it is not underlying strong security aspects.
Is there an alternative I can use for that “just masking purposes” or are there some settings, which can be used?

Thanks again a lot in advance.

Best regards, Michael

Possibly it is this feature? It’s a commercial plugin:
