Hi Trevor, thanks for sharing this smart solution. Did you ever had any issues loading the font on any platform or is that a near 100% reliable approach? Tiemo

I use a custom font that displays all characters as a bullet. Benefit is that you continue to access the text property of the field to get the password. I use some code to prevent cut/copy and filter certain types of input. You can tweak as necessary.
