Change Password in Web Form

[gokiwu]

I have a created a web form which authenticates a user by their ID and password using the -Find action, but I would like to also give user's the ability to change their password ie enter your old password and then enter new password. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

I'm using Filemaker authentication with FM7 client version. I used three text fields:

password_old

password_new

passwork_result

...and a <change password> button running script:

Set Error Capture [On]

Change Password [Old password: Tablename password_old ; New password: Tablename : password_new ]

If [Get (LastError) <> 0 ]

Set Field [ tablename:: Password_old , "" ]

Set Field [ tableneame:: Password_new , "" ]

Set Field [ tablename:: Password_result , "incorrect password, please try again"]

Else

Set Field [ tablename:: Password_old , "" ]

Set Field [ tableneame:: Password_new , "" ]

Set Field [ tablename:: Password_result , "password changed"]

End if

Go to Layout [ "MainMenu" (tablename)]

Hope that works for you.

Can someone tell me how to make these password fields return "*" characters instead of the actual letters?
