Re: Password entry fields

[pranavn]

Hi Irv,
I must agree, that's a nice idea. But if making fonts is not possible then
maybe you could use one of the fonts that already ships with your machine,
such as WingDings or Monotype Sorts. They're all dingbats and effectively
serve the purpose of masking the keystroke.

Regards,
Pranav

A few months ago, someone on this list discussed an extremely clever
approach they had to letting a user enter a passworded field.  Their
approach was to simply use a special font on a password entry field
which consisted of all asterisks or filled circle characters.  This
way, the user would just type and the password field would fill with
special characters automatically.  No special code needed at all.
