Password fields

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 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?

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