You could therefore have an action right after the Get Password, and this will only execute if the user enters a valid password.

Hope this information helps.

Yes it did, thank you very much!

Re: Hey, did I miss something?

What you could do is initialize the variable %LastPassword% to some value, such as FALSE.

The variable %LastPassword% will only be set to the password the user entered if it is a valid password, otherwise it will not.

Therefore you could have a Boolean condition such as %LastPassword% <> FALSE, meaning execute this action only if the user entered a valid password which overwrote the initial value, FALSE.

Hope this helps.

Also keep in mind what I mentioned in my last post, any actions after the password dialog will NOT be executed unless the user enters a valid password.

Re: Hey, did I miss something?

I just thought of something regarding %LastPassword%. In order for this to work effectively, you have to speficy the password that is supposed to be used in order for the action to take effect.

For example, if the password is passme, you have to specify passme in the boolean condition (%LastPassword% <>/= passme). However, what about if you have several passwords that can be used (different users have different passwords). Then you would have to specify each password, and I'm not even sure that would work as it might react odd when it hits the first action and the password isn't the one used.

Would it be possible in the boolean condition to specify the password list instead of a specific password? Thanks in advance.

Just playing around in Autoplay,

I was wandering if the "get password" action had a varible so that I could ask for a password, and depending on whether its true or false follow with an action.

I DONT WANT TO JUST CLOSE THE MENU, I noticed that option, but I would rather just not allow access & jump to something else!

I did some research and I dont think this possible, anybody else?
