Is there a way to log the password that was entered to allow a function. For instance, if a switch required a password to operate, is it possible to log not only the time and date the switch was made, but also the password that was used to activate it? Alternatively, recording the name of the group assigned to the password would even better.

I do this using the alarm history. When a person successfully logs in, a bit is set and the user name is entered as alarm text in the alarm database.
You could also set up screens to display the same information if you needed more than 64.

I'm not sure I understand. I have a radio button that is password-protected. Any of eight assigned passwords will work. How can I log which password was used to unlock the radio button?
I guess I could set up eight radio button arrays over the top of each other and assign only one acceptable password to each, give each a unique tag and program an event manager to write a bit, but that's a lot of work.
