passwordUI

Dialog for querying and creating passwords.

Description

This function displays a dialog box for a user to type in a password, obfuscated by an asterisk (*). In 'create' mode, it makes the user retype the password. You can enforce the minimum number of characters and the type of password (Alphabets Only, Numbers Only, Alphabets and Numbers, or Alphabets/Numbers/Special Characters).

pw = passwordUI()
pw = passwordUI('Create', 'AlphaNum')
pw = passwordUI('Create', 'AlphaOnly', 8)
