Originally created by @PieterL75 on GitHub (Aug 1, 2022).

NetBox version

v3.2.7

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Create a new input variable that works as a password field and hides then inputted characters.

Use case

In some cases, I have to enter a password that is provided to the script. Currently the password is shown in cleartext on the screen.
An asterix-box would help to mask the password.

Obviously, the handing of the password in the script is all cleartext and up to the script maintainer to keep it save during the script execution

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response

What about displaying the value of the field? Presumably you wouldn't want to show it in the UI. The old secrets app had a widget to unmask the value with a button, maybe that would work?

The only usecase I see to display the password, is when entering it, to verify that it is correct.
Then that unmask button seems a good addition, indeed.

Apologies, I was thinking custom fields when I added my earlier reply. For scripts, yes, it should be sufficient to override the input widget.

Yep, that worked just fine

from django.forms import PasswordInput
password = StringVar(widget=PasswordInput)
