    This has nothing to do with ASP.NET, it must be pure client-side javascript.

    You probably need a plain TextBox and a hidden field to store password. Then you handle key events in textbox to update value in the hidden field and to replace existing letters with *, and to set timer to replace letters with * on timeout.

    But it looks really complicated for such a simple thing as password input. There's no reason to replicate iOS behavior on desktop computers.

    Hi,

     

    Welcome to the MSDN forum.

     

    According to your description, I'd like to move your thread to off-topic because it is a problem related to ASP.NET. You may post thread in ASP.NET Forum. There are more experts in that forum so that you may get more useful help there.

     

    Thank you for your posting and understanding.

    Have a nice day.
