This code shows three different samples of using low security password entry to a form. Yes this is quick, easy and some might think somewhat lame but for beginners these samples will be just fine and useful. It keeps prying eyes out of my stuff anyways. These code examples can easily be modified for more sophisticated routines. It just lays a basic foundation is all.
