pre populationg password field zend framework

Question

I have created a login form with a remember me checkbox. I have set cookie if the user checks the remember me link. I read the cookie the next time user opens the page. I am able to populate the username field but I'm unable to populate the password field. Is there any way to populate it?

Answer 1

You have to set "true" to the propertie "renderPassword" like:

$password = new Zend_Form_Element_Password('senha');
$password->renderPassword = true;
$password->setValue("Senha");

Answer 2

You should never pre-populate the password field. You would be taking the user's password and putting it in plain text in the value attribute of the element. Here is an example of implementing remember me functionality in Zend Framework. It may not be 100% current, but its a decent jumping off point.
