Z and I Emulator for Web encrypts the key sequence that you type into the
Password field. This encryption works exactly like the encryption
used when the Password checkbox is selected in an Input action (see Password). Remember:
- When you type a password (such as
mypass
) into the Password field, the Macro Editor displays the password using asterisks (******
). - When you move the input focus to another input field, the Macro
Editor:
- Generates an encrypted version of the password (such as
q0eqOskTUBQ=
). - Displays the encrypted version of the password in the Password
field using asterisks (
************
). (You can see the actual characters of the encrypted version of the password in the Code Editor.)

- The password is a string. Therefore, if you are using the advanced
macro format, remember to type the password enclosed in single quotes
(for example,
'mypass'
). The Macro Editor encrypts the entire string, including the single quotes. - If you need to modify the password after the Macro Editor has encrypted it, be sure to completely delete all the characters in the field before typing in the new password.
