How to get an encrypted text as input in input box of QTP script

[QTPbeginner]

Hi,

I am beginner in QTP scripting. I created a recorded script to test some web page login.

I wanted to let the users put in the password dynamically, for that I used input box while scripting. How do I make the text input in the input box as encrypted like using setsecure in webedit.

I want the text entered to be displayed as encrypted text pwd instead of plainly text in the input box.

Plz help...

Thanks,
Sowmya

This isn't a QTP property, it's a property of the textbox object. The object has to be set to show the *****s as opposed to QTP managing this.

Does the object show the encrypted text when it's entered manually? And QTP shows the cleartext password? Is that the problem?

Cheers,
Dave

Hi,

Yes, the password WebEdit object of the webpage displays as encrypted text using SetSecure method. But, the Input box i created for the user to dynamically enter password accepts only cleartext password, I want that also to be displayed as *****.

How do I do that?

Thanks,

You've got an automated test that pauses for user input?

Why's that? You'd be better defining a series of passwords and allowing the script to run unaided.

In any case, your inputbox as generated in QTP can't be set to encode the password AFAIK. You need to provide the password already encrypted to QTP using the Password Encoder tool, or the SetSecure method.
