The last question: I would to showing asteriks when entering password.

You can use like this:

app.response({cQuestion:"Please enter password1",cTitle:"",bPassword:true});

You can use app.response to get password input.

Lets say you have 3 values in dropdown field ("---","Value1","Value2")

"---" being default value, if user select "Value1" and enter incorrect password it would set field to default value.

As Custom calculation script of dropdown field use this:

if(event.value == "Value1"){
var pass = app.response("Please enter password");
if(pass != "Password1")
event.target.currentValueIndices = [0];}
else if(event.value == "Value2"){
var pass2 = app.response("Please enter password");
if(pass2 != "Password2")
event.target.currentValueIndices = [0];}

In dropdown field properties -> options tab, tick 'Commit selected value immediatelly'.

Change passwords and values to your actual values.

There are also other options for app.response like showing asteriks when entering password.
