Hi.

Can I in PsychoPy create login dialog? I.e. I need field for password with masking entered symbols.  
Or I can do it only via direct using something like PyQT?

Hi @Vitali, are you interested in giving participants a password so that only they can take part in your study? Or is this related to something else?

Actually, standalone app with tests is a part of system. I have backend for storing some setup and results via API.

Accordingly, I need authorization of my participants.

Apologies @Vitali, would you mind explaining in more detail what you need?
