PasswordChar equivalent

[davenovo]

Hello,

I am making a form to let the user change their password.
I just want the edit field to show a * instead of showing the lettter. In Delphi TEdit I would just set the PasswordChar property of the TEdit.
If I set PasswordPrompt to True, it does show a * but then chrome prompts to save the password, which I dont want. I just want to show a * instead of the typed characters.

Hi

As you can see here

This a browser thing, there a few tweaks, but we couldn't rely on them to make our code

In any web program I have used, if I change my password, (i.e. enter a new password, confirm new password) I am never prompted to store the password by the browser. It just does not show the characters I am typing, it shows a little circle or whatever. Is there a way to just hide what is being typed, without it officially being a "password" field?

Hello,
The posts above is if you mark something as a "password" field.

What I want is just an edit control where you cannot see what someone is typing.

For example, lets say that the user has a security question, and I do not want anyone to see what they are typing as the answer. This is not their password, it is just some edit control where you cannot see what the user is typing. How do I do that?
