Password Encryption

Nishant Khandelwal asked on November 18, 2016 12:32

Hi team,

In form I am taking field password and choosing form control as password. But when I go to recorded data tab here I can see my password as it is(like - "Test@123") in the listing data.

Is there is any way in kentico so I can see my password in encrypted format not in alphanumeric format without custom coding.

Regrettably, no. You need to let Kentico know, what to do with such an input, like making MD5 hash out of it, etc. So always some kind of custom code is needed I am afraid.

Since you can't do it without some custom code or hash, then, I'd not recommend this but, store it as plain text then create a schedule task to clean up that data after a given time frame.

Again it will be custom coded, but you can also use the Global System Events and catch when a form is submitted, to MD5 or encrypt or whatever you want to do with the password field.

If this is a password though, are you trying to capture users? there are options in the user registration to make them not approved and you can use ALternative forms to preset a User registration form that has the information you want (that way when they enter the password, THAT is automatically encrypted since it's part of the user's module). Just checking.
