How to create a password field in xcode

Update for Xcode 12.2+

My opinion is programmatic declaration of properties are easier to toggle back and forth.

Programmatically in Swift 5:

myPasswordTextField.isSecureTextEntry = true

Sounds like you are looking for "setSecureTextEntry" on a "UITextField" object.

Also known as the "secureTextEntry" property in the "UITextInputTraits" protocol.

You can call this programatically via calling ".secureTextEntry = YES" on the "UITextField" object you want to be set for passwords.

You can also set it in Interface Builder (look for "Secure" checkbox in your text field Attributes inspector). It looks like this:

SecureAttributeForTextField

And in newer version of Xcode:
