important
form
security
form security
• Forms can be quite insecure when we are using
them, we need to make sure that the right data
is being seen by the right people
• and that no-one can get access to the
really sensitive data!
For example…here’s how to find our a password on
an unsecured computer
PS - DON’T DO THIS ONE SOMEONE ELSES
COMPUTER - YOU’ll GET INTO A LOT OF TROUBLE!!
I’ve visited a website and have put in my
username and password into the box
provided. Let’s say that now I have to step
away from my computer for 5 seconds…
Some unsavoury character comes along
and looks at my screen. They right click on
the password field and then go to inspect, I
wonder what they are up to?
Now they are looking at the HTML for this
web page and have an interest in the field
that my password is in. It’s ok…its secure
(it really isn’t).
They change the form element from:
<input type=“Password”>
to
<Input Type=“text”>
and now my password is being shown to the
world #awkward!

  • 37. I’ve visited a website and have put in my username and password into the box provided. Let’s say that now I have to step away from my computer for 5 seconds…
  • 38. Some unsavoury character comes along and looks at my screen. They right click on the password field and then go to inspect, I wonder what they are up to?
  • 39. Now they are looking at the HTML for this web page and have an interest in the field that my password is in. It’s ok…its secure (it really isn’t).
  • 40. They change the form element from: <input type=“Password”> to <Input Type=“text”> and now my password is being shown to the world #awkward!
