    Hi, im using elementor form for a custom user registration. So user need to input their username & password to submit the form. Form vibes works as intended like always and saved all the fields including the password field.

    The password field is not encrypted in the fv database and show as plain text in the entries view. For security purpose (even for admin), i need to exclude any Password type field to be excluded from being saved in FV db.

    1. Is there a way to exclude certain fields from being saved into the FV database entries, such as password field? A simple php snippet would be very helpful.

    It is also good if the form has many hidden field that does not need to be saved.

    Hi @archonic08

    Thanks for the suggestion. To be honest we never thought about such scenario. Elementor Pro Forms are mostly used as general submission form where password fields are not used.

    We will surely consider this case and provide be best flexible solution that we can.

    And on the inverse, how about adding the ability to ‘add’ fields such as ACF? I’m doing something similar, but would like to output more than just the user info. My form includes ACF fields. 🙂
