Disable password input field

Function: Disable password input field​

This action allows you to make a specific password input field on your application's form inactive. When a password input field is disabled, users cannot type into it, click on it, or interact with it in any way. This is useful for controlling user input based on certain conditions or workflow stages, ensuring data integrity or guiding user interaction.

Input​

  • UI element:
    • Description: The specific password input field on your form that you want to make inactive. You will select this directly from your application's design interface.
    • Type: UI element (specifically a Password Input Field)

Output​

This action does not produce a direct output value that can be used in subsequent steps. Its effect is a visual and functional change to the specified UI element on your application's form.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

  1. Preventing re-entry after successful password update:

    • Scenario: On a user profile page, after a user successfully updates their password, you want to temporarily disable the "New Password" and "Confirm New Password" fields to prevent accidental re-entry or further changes until they explicitly choose to edit again.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Select the "New Password" field.
    • Result: The "New Password" field on the user profile page becomes grayed out and cannot be edited by the user.

  2. Conditional form behavior for social logins:

    • Scenario: On a registration form, if a user chooses to sign up using a social media account (e.g., "Sign in with Google"), the traditional "Password" and "Confirm Password" fields become irrelevant. You want to disable them to simplify the form.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Select the "Password" field.
    • Result: The "Password" field on the registration form is disabled, indicating to the user that it's not required when signing up via social media.

  3. During form submission to prevent changes:

    • Scenario: When a user clicks a "Submit" button on a form that includes a password field, you want to disable all input fields, including the password field, to prevent them from making further changes while the form data is being processed by the system.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element: Select the "Current Password" field.
    • Result: The "Current Password" field, along with other input fields, becomes disabled as soon as the "Submit" button is clicked, ensuring no further input during processing.
