{dlgpassword} unsafe - no field to 'repeat' password?

Help & Support
1

Hi, it just occurred to me as I was automating a task. If I use {dlgpassword} in a command, I thought this would bring up a dialog box with two fields for me to repeat the password?

Instead I get the same as {dlgstring}, ie. a single input box only, which is unsafe in case of a mistype.

May I suggest this as a feature request, unless it is already possible?

Likewise for when automating the backup of your dopus config (Prefs BACKUP PASSWORD)

Confirmation is asked for when archiving.

Good idea.
For now the only workaround I see is to ask for password twice and then pass those passwords to external application (or windows batch file) and compare them. (And then run some other programs/actions if they're the same.)

In the next beta we'll add the ability to make {dlgpassword} require confirmation.

Excellent, thanks
