Hiding password in debug

raphael_almeida — Thu, 10 Jul 2014 22:30:04 GMT

Hi folks !

I have a question here, how could hide a parameter typed in a password, so this is not visible in debug mode?

Is this possible?

Thanks for help.

Nope, anybody with access to debugger can read any variables. That's why debugger in read only mode is still dangerous and access to it should be given easily.

Cheers

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your explanation.

I imagined it was possible to create a validation when it was typed value (As i done in Java with key press event)

Thanks anyway.
