This is an easy problem to work around...
The following method will activate just as soon as the character is placed, and
before any keyup handler is executed.
Just do this:
On rawkeydown
Send hideMyKeys to me in 0 seconds
End rawkeydown
on hideMyKeys
-- enable masking of password during entry
lock messages
lock screen
repeat with i = 1 to the number of characters in me
if the imagesource of char i of me is not "tinyPadlock" then
set the imagesource char i of me to "tinyPadlock"
end if
end repeat
unlock messages
pass keyUp
end hideMyKeys

Hi Bill,
Would be a very elegant and "short coding" solution if I had not the
time to read the letters that are typed (Mac OS)
Then you have to use a rawKeyDown handler (or KeyDown + deleteKey)
and it becomes another story...
But the idea is very good: completely cross-platform :-)
