Set invalid message of password field

Function: Set invalid message of password field​

This action allows you to display a custom error message directly on a password input field in your application. This is useful for guiding users when their input doesn't meet specific criteria, such as password strength requirements or confirmation mismatches. You can also use this action to clear an existing error message from a password field.

Input​

  • UI element: Select the specific password input field on your page where you want to display or clear the error message.
  • Invalid message: Enter the text you want to show as the error message. If you leave this blank, any existing error message on the selected password field will be removed.

Output​

This action does not produce any direct output. Its effect is visible on the user interface.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Set invalid message of password field" action:

Example 1: Enforcing Password Strength​

Imagine you have a user registration form where passwords must meet certain complexity rules.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Password_Field_NewUser (This is the password input field on your registration form)
    • Invalid message: "Password must be at least 8 characters long, include a number, and a special character."
  • Result: If a user enters a password that doesn't meet these rules, the Password_Field_NewUser will display the message "Password must be at least 8 characters long, include a number, and a special character." below it, guiding the user to create a stronger password.

Example 2: Confirming Password Match​

When users need to confirm their password by entering it twice, you can use this action to indicate a mismatch.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Confirm_Password_Field (This is the second password input field for confirmation)
    • Invalid message: "Passwords do not match. Please re-enter."
  • Result: If the text in Confirm_Password_Field does not match the initial password field, the Confirm_Password_Field will show "Passwords do not match. Please re-enter." as an error, prompting the user to correct their input.

Example 3: Clearing an Error Message After Correction​

After a user corrects their input, you'll want to remove any previously displayed error messages.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Password_Field_NewUser (The same password field from Example 1)
    • Invalid message: \(Leave this field blank\)
  • Result: Any existing error message (e.g., "Password must be at least 8 characters long...") displayed on Password_Field_NewUser will be removed, indicating that the input is now valid or the error condition has been resolved.
