Hide password with "•••••••" in a textField

In my app there is a textField where the user have to put is password in and i want that when he enter a character it change it to '•' how can i do this?

Solution

  • You can achieve this directly in Xcode:

    enter image description here

    The very last checkbox, make sure secure is checked .

    Or you can do it using code:

    Identifies whether the text object should hide the text being entered.

    Declaration

    optional var secureTextEntry: Bool { get set }

    Discussion

    This property is set to false by default. Setting this property to true creates a password-style text object, which hides the text being entered.

    example:

    texfield.secureTextEntry = true
