login

Login dialog with asterisk hidden password.

Description

This is a login dialog which replaces all characters typed into the password area with asterisks. Both the login and password are returned by the function as strings.

Version information can be found in the m-file. Examples can be found in the m-file help.

Note: The password is only visually hidden. While the dialog is active it is stored in the Userdata of the password edit box.

My PC has Matlab ver 7.0.1 and this does not work...Dispalys an error and could not understand how to trouble shoot it. Hope u would help me in this regard....

[Jeremy Smith]

There is a problem with this script for versions of Matlab before 7.1. The functionality of the 'cellfun' function changes so if you delete lines 45-48 it'll work as it should. Those lines are just responsible for some error checking.

Nice and useful application

[Hoi Wong]

'Esc' key counts as a blank character. Is there any way to avoid that? Thanks for the great program

[Ashwini]

Good one, it helped me a lot ..

[Srikanth Sridharan]

Hi. Great program, it works like a charm. However, I noticed that when I used it to input access details for a database (using the database command) I needed a little pause between using your code and creating the database object - otherwise Matlab (2009b) hangs.

This function may not be secure for the beta release R2011a because the password is not obscured as it is typed. (Mac OSX 10.6.6).

File works perfectly. Just have to remembers to clear the username and password before saving anything so that no one can get a hold of your information.
