```
public interface IPasswordMapperActivity
```
This interface abstracts from password mapping activity, available for all connector-provided UI components. Passwords should not appear in any data sent from the crawler UI to the browser. The following methods are provided to assist the connector UI components in this task. A connector coder should use these services as follows: - When the password would ordinarily be put into a form element as the current password, instead use mapPasswordToKey() to create a key and put that in instead. - When the "password" is posted, and the post is processed, use mapKeyToPassword() to restore the correct password.
