In a form, a password object is a text field that hides the reader's entry by displaying an asterisk (*) for each character typed. A password object is a form element that must be defined with an <INPUT> tag between a pair of <FORM>...</FORM> tags. The password object is a property of the larger form object.

To create a password object, use Insert > Form Field > Text > Password. To create a password field manually, place an <INPUT type='password'...> tag between a pair of <FORM>...</FORM> tags.

Code:

<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="ReaderPassword"VALUE="" MAXLENGTH="16" SIZE=16 >
</FORM>
