Yes, that’s how it is unfortunately… I made a thread recently about using some code to get it to behave how you like. > [@Question about "secure code - 4" Weweb element](https://community.weweb.io/t/question-about-secure-code-4-weweb-element/3676/4): > > Sure! The code I use was (this is for on change workflow on the first box), replace with your own variable values. Then do something very similar to the second and third box~ // Access the global variables let code1Value = variables[‘’]; let code2Value = variables[‘’]; let code3Value = variables[‘’]; let code4Value = variables[‘’]; // Check if the length of code1Value is more than 1 if (code1Value.length \> 1) { // If it is, add the second character to code2Value code2Value += code1Value… Although that workaround works, but in the end i abandoned it as its too complex, I just use a normal input field now. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.weweb.io/t/verification-code-component-bug/4087)._
