Custom Function 1: MaskPassword(Text; ReplacementChar) Let( sizeOfText = Length(Text) ; If(sizeOfText > 0; ReplacmentChar & CountPassword(Text ; ReplacementChar) ) ) Custom Function 2: CountPassword(Text; ReplacementChar) Let( TextEdit = Left (Text ; Length(Text)-1 ); If( Length(TextEdit > 0); MaskPassword( TextEdit; ReplacementChar)) ) Click to copy

We can mask the password field inputs through Filemaker script triggers and using this function in the script and storing the data entered in the password field into another field in its table for password matching while signing in using the password. Since the characters entered into the password field would get converted to "*".

If we use a script trigger on the password field and use this function in the script which would get the actual password characters and using this function it will replace with the mask character that would be defined in the custom function
