    I see the option of selecting your field as a password, but when setting it up it doesn't appear to work as a password. What's the point of it?? Can I use that to create a password protected page?

      This is a basic form generator that gives you the framework for doing many other things using the provided form input.  The password option is nothing more than another form input that allows someone to provide you with a user defined password.  What you do with it after that is up to you.

        How would we do that. For example. I would like the person filling out my form to put thier name, e-mail and a password I create. If they type in the wrong password I would like the form to reject them, or sent them to a rejection page. If they type the correct password then it sends to the another page.

        How could we do this?

        Thanks

          First, how would the user know what the password is that you define?
          Next for example, the form1.html could be a form1.php and if the password field does not match the form1.php file just reloads with a warning that the password does not match (similar to any other login page you have probably used where the fields come back with a red warning next to the field in error). 
          There are many ways to accomplish what you want but the phpformGenerator is just the beginning.

      the point of the password field is to have a text box that doesn't expose its value. The characters show up as asterisks (or whatever the OS plugs in). Thats it, no more no less. What you are looking for is a user account management system. Why are you expecting a form generator to do that?
