Set value of password field

Function: Set value of password field​

This action allows you to programmatically set the value of a specific password input field on your application's form. This is useful when you need to pre-fill a password field based on other logic or data, rather than requiring the user to type it in manually. The updated value is then stored within the form's context for further processing or submission.

Input​

  • UI element: The specific password input field on your form that you want to update. This is a required input.
  • Answer: The password value you want to set for the selected password field. This value will be securely handled as a password type.

Output​

This action does not produce a direct output that can be used by subsequent actions. Instead, it updates the internal value of the selected password input field within your application's form.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical scenarios where you might use the "Set value of password field" action:

Example 1: Pre-filling a password field for testing​

Imagine you are building an internal testing tool where you want to quickly log in with a predefined test user.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Select the "Password" input field on your login form.
    • Answer: "TestUser123!"
  • Result: The "Password" input field on the login form will automatically be filled with "TestUser123!".

Example 2: Resetting a password field after an invalid attempt​

Suppose a user attempts to log in, but the credentials are incorrect. You might want to clear the password field for security and to prompt them to re-enter it.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Select the "Password" input field on your login form.
    • Answer: (Leave this field empty or set it to an empty string)
  • Result: The "Password" input field on the login form will be cleared, ready for the user to enter new credentials.

Example 3: Setting a temporary password during account creation​

When a new user account is created by an administrator, you might want to generate a temporary password and automatically set it in a password field for confirmation before the user changes it.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Select the "Temporary Password" input field on the new user creation form.
    • Answer: "TempPass@2024" (This value could come from a previous action that generates a random password).
  • Result: The "Temporary Password" input field will display "TempPass@2024", allowing the administrator to confirm it or the system to use it for initial setup.
