password

Description

Wpart responsible for handling password fields. In case of entering the bad input, the previous one is not restored (so the user has to enter it once again, even if it was correct).

Caution: data entered in the password field is sent unencrypted over the network, so it is strongly recommended to use an encrypted connection (https) in order to prevent the leak of the data.

The rendered widget is either

<input type="password" ... />

(in case we do not want user to confirm the entered password) or

<input type="password" ... /><br/><input type="password" ... />

otherwise.

Validation

`min_length`	Min :: integer()	Specifies the minimal length of the string.	`{too_short, Input`}
`max_length`	Max :: integer()	Specifies the maximal length of the string.	`{too_long, Input`}
`regexp`	"Regexp"	Describes the pattern password should match. The format is the same as used in `re` module (http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/re.html)	`{regexp_does_not_match, Input`}
