Password fields

[Ersel Aker]

Is there a way to have password fields inside your own collections? I don't want to store password as a string field. I want to build an app where users collection will be used for clients and a custom user collection for business purposes. What would be the best approach?

Hello -

What kind of password do you want to store inside custom collection?

[Ersel Aker]

login password

Password would be with characters and numbers and special symbols?

[Ersel Aker]

yes exactly

Hello Ersel,

It's up to you how to store encrypted information (should be implemented by you). You can use server code as proxy to encrypt/decrypt data.

Ok, I see there is no other option. But out of curiosity what is the implementation benefit of the password field, password type inside the predefined user collection?

[Evgene Karachevtsev]

Password in User collection is our inner implementation. You can't use it for custom collections
