# Platform Password node

Prompts the user to enter their password and stores the input in a configurable state attribute.

This node uses the `_id` of the object for policy evaluation.

For existing users, the user's `_id` must be in the shared state to evaluate user-specific policies, such as password history, cannot-contain-others, and so on. No `_id` is available for new users.

| Validate Password  | When enabled, this node checks the user's input against IDM's password policies, and returns any policy failures as errors.For example, if you submitted an invalid password on registration, the response from this node would include a list of failed policies:```json
{
    "name": "failedPolicies",
    "value": [
        "{ \"params\": { \"minLength\": 8 }, \"policyRequirement\": \"MIN_LENGTH\" }",
        "{ \"params\": { \"numCaps\": 1 }, \"policyRequirement\": \"AT_LEAST_X_CAPITAL_LETTERS\" }",
        "{ \"params\": { \"numNums\": 1 }, \"policyRequirement\": \"AT_LEAST_X_NUMBERS\" }"
      ]
}
``` |
| Password Attribute | The attribute used to store a password in the IDM object.Default: `password`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| Confirm Password   | Enable this option to require the user to enter the password identically in a second field.	This property only displays when the node is placed within a Page node in a Ping Identity Platform deployment.Default: disabled                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
