Password Setting Bug?

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?

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.

Hi Mr. Blackwell. Many thanks for this. Where are passwords stored?

Passwords are not stored anywhere in the file.  FileMaker Pro uses a hashing process in lieu of password storage.
