Adding a Password input field in Fluent Form is simple. The field allows users to enter secure passwords.
This guide will show you step-by-step how to add and change the Password Field in Fluent Forms for your WordPress website.
Adding Password Input Field #
To learn how to add the Password field to Fluent Forms, follow the steps below:
First, go to the Forms section from the Fluent Forms Navbar, choose a desired Form, and click the Edit icon to open the Editor page of that form.
If you do not have any existing forms, read Create a Form from Scratch or Create a Form using Templates documentation to create a new one.
Once on the Editor page, click the Plus Icon in your form editor and open the Advanced Fields module. The Advanced Fields option is also in the right sidebar under the Input Fields tab.
Now, select the desired Password Input field by clicking or dragging it and dropping it into your editor.
Customizing the Password Field #
Once you add the Password field, you can customize it by hovering over it and clicking the Pencil Icon. It will take you to the Input Customization tab on the right side and offer the following options for customizing the field.
- Password Options
- Advanced Options
Password Options #
You will find various settings options for customizing the field. Located in the Input Customization Tab, these options allow you to configure essential aspects of the Password input field.
All the Settings under the Password Input Field mentioned above are briefly explained below –
A. Element Label: This is the field title users will see when filling out the Password input field in a form. You can enter any text here to help users understand the field’s purpose.
B. Label Placement: This option allows you to determine the position of the label title where the user will see it. The available options are Top, Left, Right, and Default. All of those are self-explanatory except the Default. If you select the Default option, it will represent your global label placement settings.
C. Admin Field Label: The admin field label is a field title displayed only to admin users. You can configure this option to show a different field label for your admin users when they view the form submissions.
D. Placeholder: When the input field is empty, a message is usually shown to the users so they can understand what the field expects from them. This is the equivalent of the HTML input placeholder attribute.
E. Required: Choose the appropriate option from here to determine whether the field should be empty when the user submits your form.
Advanced Options #
Advanced settings allow further customization to meet specific use cases. All the Settings under the Advanced Options tab mentioned in the screenshot are briefly explained below –
A. Default Value: Using our shortcodes, you can manually set any fixed value in your field and pre-fill your input field dynamically. Read this article to better understand Dynamic Default values. You can also add values by clicking the Three-Dots options.
B. Container Class: Use this option to add your custom CSS classes to the field’s wrapper.
C. Element Class: Add custom CSS classes to the input field.
D. Help Message: This option allows you to guide your user thoroughly. Add your text here, which will be shown as a help message to the user.
E. Name Attribute: The input field’s name attribute is the HTML equivalent of the same name. You don’t need to modify this.
F. Conditional Logic: This option allows you to create specific rules to dynamically hide/show the input field to function conditionally based on your submission values according to your set of conditional logics. To learn more, read this Documentation.
