Job Applicant Sign in/Account Creation Password Field Adding Additional Characters

Additional characters are not actually being added, it is just visually displaying a random number of dots as a security feature.

Issue

When an external applicant is signing in or registering for a new account, the password field fills with additional asterisks, which has been confusing candidates as to whether or not their passphrase is being accepted or typed correctly.

 

Environment

• Job Application Portal (HRProd)

 

Information

This happens after tabbing or clicking out of the password field. It is designed to be a security enhancement so people who may be looking over your shoulder cannot tell how long the passphrase actually is. It does not actually add any additional characters.
