When storing sensitive data such as passwords or license keys, the main concern is to ensure its proper protection.
Secure Password Custom Field enables you to store private information behind a secure mask and prevent unauthorized access to it.

(Important: Extra authentication enabled)

Permissions

Define who can access the field, decrypt, change its value or view the history of the field.

Issues -> Fields -> Custom fields permission schemes

Users with only View field permission can see the Password field on issue screen.  
The value of the field is shown encrypted and cannot be unmasked or edited by the current user.

If a user with Edit field value permission clicks on (blue star), the Overwrite value button appears. It enables the user to enter new data into the Password field.
The current value will be not shown as the user does not have permission to decrypt the field.

After clicking on (blue star), users with Decrypt field value permission (extra authentication disabled) get the next options:

  • Show value - data will be decrypted and the field value is shown:

  • Edit value - data will be decrypted and the field value is available for editing:

  • Copy to clipboard - allows the user to copy the field value to the clipboard.

If extra authentication enabled, the user will be prompted to authorize before attempting any of the actions (show/edit/copy the value).

If authorization fails, none of the options (show/edit/copy the value) are available. A user will get an error message.

History

Know if and when someone accessed sensitive data.

Every attempt to decrypt, edit, or copy the value of the Password field is recorded in the field's history. Furthermore, unsuccessful attempts are stored as well.
