#### Property Value

Type: Boolean
Remarks
This property does not change how the value of the setting is handled at the framework level. Rather, it acts as a hint to higher levels. If the value of this property is
, it hints that the value should be treated with the standard conventions for dealing with password data. For instance:

1. The API should not expose the password value to the UI unless specifically requested.
2. The password value should never be displayed in plain text.

Note
Password properties typically should also be encrypted, using IsEncrypted.
