    1. In the Edit Password Field pop-up, define the following settings for your password field:
      • Display Settings – set the PromptConfirmation Prompt, and Width for your password field
        • Prompts are labels for your password fields
      • Input Validation – Check the Make Required box to require visitors to provide a password
      • Data Field Name  – Select a column name on the list that will collect data from your Form
        • In many cases, the prompt label and data field name will be the same. On occasion, you may want to ask your users a question (e.g., The label may read "What is your favorite color?" and to keep your list manageable, you may create a field name that says "Color" for easy viewing on your list).
