The non-storing password input field lets a user enter a value, but disguises each character with an asterisk (*) instead of displaying the entered digits. It offers a user on-screen privacy while they are entering a password.
This version of the password field does not generate a property within the object type definition when the form is published. Thus it cannot be used store a value automatically. It will not 'remember' any value entered into it in a multi-page form.
The field provides a custom validation function. This function is only executed server-side.
