password_char

Password Character.

This attribute specifies the character to be used as a password character. If the
'password_char' is specified, that character is displayed in the 'edit_box' instead of the characters entered by the user. The use of this attribute has no effect on the retrieval of the value entered by the user. It alters only the display of the characters in the 'edit_box'.
