Yep.... good stuff. I forgot about those.... been on iOS8 too long - have converted all my code to UIAlertController(s).

But the OP won't use UIAlertController to be backwards compatible and (I guess) had not seen those calls.

Sure...

BYOV - build your own view:

Create a custom UIViewController, pop in a UITextField and a couple of buttons.
Works on all versions, done in under an hour max….

There’s no need to do that! You already brought up the use of UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput. If you look at the documentation (or even just the header), you’ll see a UIAlertViewStylePlainTextInput too.

-setAlertViewStyle: and -textFieldAtIndex: are public, supported APIs: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIAlertView_Class/index.html

I would encourage using UIAlertController though if you can - it’s where the future lies, and its text field API is a little nicer.

Good Luck!

The method for iOS 5 and later on this page looks good:

Please stop reaching in to the UIAlertView hierarchy. As has been
documented forever, this is not supported.
