# Password

The `password` type is dedicated to marking parameters in a connection that should be kept secret when the user is editing a connection.

In addition, when the user types in a `password` field, the text in the field is masked.

{% hint style="info" %}
The `password` parameter type is only available in a connection. If used in other modules, this parameter behaves like a `text` parameter.
{% endhint %}

## Example

The user is updating an app connection:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Appearance" %}

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/uCYpK5bm9yXAHRbMn4Ut" alt="" width="544"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Source" %}

```json
[
    {
        "name": "serviceUrl",
        "type": "url",
        "required": true,
        "editable": true,
        "label": "Service URL"
    },
    {
        "name": "username",
        "type": "email",
        "required": true,
        "editable": true,
        "label": "Username"
    },
    {
        "name": "apiToken",
        "type": "password",
        "required": true,
        "editable": true,
        "label": "API Token"
    }
]
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
