Password¶
New in version 12.0
The TCA type password has been introduced. It replaces the
eval=password and eval=saltedPassword option of
TCA type input.
New in version 13.0
When using the password type, TYPO3 takes care of
generating the according database field.
A developer does not need to define this field in an extension's
ext_tables.sql file.
The TCA type password should be used for input values that represent
passwords.
Examples¶
A simple password field:¶
[
'columns' => [
'password_1' => [
'label' => 'password_1',
'description' => 'type=password',
'config' => [
'type' => 'password',
],
],
],
]A password field with password generator¶
A password generator using special chars.
[
'columns' => [
'password_6' => [
'label' => 'password_6',
'description' => 'type=password fieldControl=passwordGenerator - all character sets',
'config' => [
'type' => 'password',
'fieldControl' => [
'passwordGenerator' => [
'renderType' => 'passwordGenerator',
'options' => [
'title' => 'Create random password',
'passwordRules' => [
'specialCharacters' => true,
],
],
],
],
],
],
],
]For more options on generating passwords see Property passwordGenerator.
Migration¶
The migration from eval='password' and eval='saltedPassword' to
type=password is done like following:
// Before
'password_field' => [
'label' => 'Password',
'config' => [
'type' => 'input',
'eval' => 'trim,password,saltedPassword',
]
]
// After
'password_field' => [
'label' => 'Password',
'config' => [
'type' => 'password',
]
]
// Before
'another_password_field' => [
'label' => 'Password',
'config' => [
'type' => 'input',
'eval' => 'trim,password',
]
]
// After
'another_password_field' => [
'label' => 'Password',
'config' => [
'type' => 'password',
'hashed' => false,
]
]An automatic TCA migration is performed on the fly, migrating all occurrences
to the new TCA type and triggering a PHP E_USER_DEPRECATED error
where code adoption has to take place.
Note
The value of TCA type password column is automatically trimmed before
being stored (and optionally hashed) in the database. Therefore, the eval=trim
option is no longer needed and should be removed from the TCA configuration.
