[Smtk-developers] Dealing with passwords in attributes

[Robert Michael O'Bara]

We have a use case where we need prompt the user for a password in order to launch jobs.  Requirements would include the following:

1. Hide the password while being typed
2. Note allow the password from being written out to the attribute file when being saved.

In order to provide support I can either add a "role" parameter to the string item indicating it is a password or create a special item/item def.

Obviously the first would be faster.

Any comments?
