## FAQ

### How to use the ability of the password check?

Enter the value of the “name” on the field if you wish to verify a value of a password
field.
 Ex. If you set [password password-100], set [password* password-101 password_check:
password-100]. Please pay attention a miss with uppercase and lowercase letters.

### How the use the ability to display a password?

Set the “id” and the value sets same as “name” value.
 Ex. If you set [password 
password-100], change to [password password-100 id:password-100].

The feature uses the library(Web fonts and CSS) of Font Awesome ( https://fontawesome.
com/ ).

### How can I use my theme’s Font Awesome stylesheet or another Font Awesome source?

This plugin loads the bundled Font Awesome stylesheet by default.

If your theme or another plugin already loads Font Awesome 6, you can dequeue this
plugin’s stylesheet.

If you want to use another Font Awesome source, such as a CDN, dequeue the bundled
stylesheet and enqueue your own stylesheet from your theme or custom plugin.

Example:

    ```
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
        wp_dequeue_style( 'cf7_add_password_field_style' );

        wp_enqueue_style(
            'my-font-awesome',
            'https://example.com/path/to/font-awesome.css',
            array(),
            null
        );
    }, 20 );
    ```

Replace the example URL with the URL of your preferred Font Awesome stylesheet.

Loading stylesheets from third-party services may have privacy, availability, and
security implications.

### How the customize the validation check?

Please see the following document.

### How to save a password in hashed form

This plugin only adds a password field the Contact Form 7 plugin and does not encrypt(
hash) input data.
 If you want to hash a password value for keeping a database using
an other plugin or sending by email, you need to add the code for hashing the data
when you submit it pass through Contact Form 7, for example in your theme’s functions.
