Password Field in an Editor Window.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

// Editor Script that creates a password field and lets you visualize what have you // typed in a label.

class EditorGUIPasswordField : EditorWindow { string text = "Some text here";

[MenuItem("Examples/Editor Password field usage")] static void Init() { EditorWindow window = GetWindow<EditorGUIPasswordField>(); window.Show(); }
