how to change password dots to to Asterisk [duplicate]

Question

I am creating the password field, and I have to use Asterisk in place of password dots. currently, I am using this

<input type="text" style="-webkit-text-security: square;" />

but when I use Asterisk in place of the square then it's not working. Is there any solution for that.

Answer 1

You need to specify password in your input's type field. Like this:

<input type="password" style="-webkit-text-security: square;" />
