Hello,
The option in the Admin Panel > Section Editors > XYZ section > Field Editor > Advance options --> Password Field (that hide the characters) is also create encryption to the data?
If not, can i create encrypted password field when i input data from the Admin panel (not from any front php script) and store in the MySQL?
Please advise,
Karls

Hi Karls,
Setting a field to "password" will not automatically encrypt the values entered into it. To do that, you'll need to create a custom plugin to encrypt these values.
In CMS Builder, we use the function getPasswordDigest() to encrypt passwords.
EXAMPLE:
It's important to note when using this, is that there isn't a reverse function to decrypted a value. So when doing comparisons, you'll need to encrypt the values entered first.
Hope this helps
