SQLFORM.factory bug for field type = password

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. In the controller I have a custom form that contains a password:

form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('afield', 'password')) form.vars.afield = 'some initial password'

1. In the view

{{=form.custom.begin}} {{=form.custom.widget.afield}} {{=form.custom.submit}} {{=form.custom.end}} What is the expected output? What do you see instead? At page load:

• Expected output: afield text field must be: ***
• Instead: afield text field is empty. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Web2py 1.91.6 Windows 7

Try this instead:

form = SQLFORM.factory(Field('afield', 'password',default="some initial password"))
