how to create user login id and password interface?

Basically you can’t, because the login UI is coming from the authentication provider (Google, Dropbox, Box, Smartsheet etc.) you have chosen. However you can play with the authentication, provided you subscribe to AppSheet Business Plan and integrate AWS Cognito add-on to your plan.

You are comparing 2 different platforms or products. Is your app public or a secure app?

Yes I compare both app and Google forms is more handy and users friendly than appsheet .My last 5 days appsheet experience told me it’s not user friendly , it’s complicated .

Well of course we respect your evaluation, but being developed a bit more than 500 apps ranging from very small personal apps up to highly complex corporate scale apps as an AppSheet Partner and Developer, I can say just the opposite. The learning curve for every product is a bit long and cumbersome at the beginning, however when you grab the concept, it’s highly flexible and easy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Sometimes people don’t need an app, just a form…

I fIgured out how to do this, if anyone wants to know just ask for details and ill post.
Would you rate your solution as secure , or just a interface simulation of a login view?
I think many of appsheet app developers can build a basic user/password interface , but it will not be safe , and if used , can probably violate appsheed policies. Many can bypass a basic interface.

Its secure in the fact that:
-you have to know your password to login.
-you have to be added to table by admin.
-The app is a public app so ive also secured things inside app through slicing.

All passwords are sent to and stored in the app along with all other table data. All data on the device can potentially be accessed by the device holder or browser user.

Slices do not prevent access to data; they’re really just a data structuring tool. It’s not terribly difficult to bypass slices to get to the underlying table.
It is virtually impossible to secure an AppSheet app without using a supported authentication method and security filters. Even then, a lot of potentially-sensitive data and information about the app can be gleaned by a savvy user if your app isn’t very well designed.

how to do it
Hello, exactly what I need!
I’m a novice user, so bare with me.
There is a table which has user names and password and also a link which is specific to that user.
So would you have screen shots of the very example you added here so that an idiot like me can give access to users to their link but via having to enter the user name and password?
Much obliged
Dan
I’m interested… please share
I highly encourage you, @Isaac_Mureithi @iato_admin @Max_Henriquez, to read the article in marc_dillon post and Steve’s comments. If information that is not removed at the security filter level(slices are not a security measure they are basically a display filter) it is available to ALL users that have the link to your app.

Hello Lucas,
This is exactly what I’m after but I’m very much a novice.
I’d be grateful and obliged if you could share how to achieve this.
Kind regards

Hey @Steve !
With this comment:
Do you mean that there are ways for a user to access the table information even in those cases where we are only showing a view based on a slice to the user?
Is this most likely because of a poor app design? or what are factors that could allow the user to access unwanted data when using slices?
I’m worried now
