Image forming apparatus and image forming system for restricting display information from being displayed during remote control

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a communication interface;
• a user interface;
• and
• a controller configured to, when the image forming apparatus is remotely connected with an information processing device via the communication interface, perform:
• transmitting, to the information processing device, screen data for causing the information processing device to display a screen corresponding to a display screen being displayed on the user interface;
• in response to receiving remote access indicating an operable object displayed on the display screen from the information processing device, changing a first display mode in which the operable object indicated by the remote access is displayed on the user interface to a second display mode indicating that the operable object has been operated, and performing processing according to the remote access;
• and
• when the display screen is for entering a password, receiving the remote access from the information processing device, and when the operable object indicated by the remote access received from the information processing device is included in the display screen for entering the password, not changing the first display mode in which the operable object indicated by the remote access is displayed on the user interface to the second display mode indicating that the operable object has been operated.
