FormSecurePassword
Adds both a password prompt and edit field to the current form. You should call this function only after the FormNew() function and before the FormRead() function. When FormRead() is called, the form will also display the password prompt and edit field.
The operator's input is not echoed in the field; a single asterisk (*) is displayed for each character. The function does not return the password as a plain text, it returns an encrypted password string. The user can send this string to the UserLogin or UserVerify functions.
