fmow Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I am setting up user accounts for my db and I am quite perplexed as to why when creating a new user and setting a password for them, upon reopening the user details, fm instead of retaining the password (as an x number of dots) it adds several characters to it. I guess I should be doing something considerably wrong to get this behaviour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Not at all. By design, there is no correlation between the password and the obfuscation shown on the screen. Additionally, the password is not stored in the file. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmow Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hi Mr. Blackwell. Many thanks for this. Where are passwords stored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Passwords are not stored anywhere in the file. FileMaker Pro uses a hashing process in lieu of password storage. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
