Returns

string The password entered by the user.

Description

Make a text field where the user can enter a password.

This works just like GUILayout.PasswordField, but correctly responds to select all, etc. in the editor, and it can have an optional label in front.


Simple window that visualizes what you have typed in the password field.

	// Editor Script that creates a password field and lets you visualize what have you
	// typed in a label.
	
	class EditorGUILayoutPasswordField extends EditorWindow {
		
		var text : String = "Some text here";
		
		@MenuItem("Examples/Editor Password field usage")
		static function Init() {
			var window = GetWindow(EditorGUILayoutPasswordField);
			window.Show();
		}
		
		function OnGUI() {
			text = EditorGUILayout.PasswordField("Type Something:",text);
			EditorGUILayout.LabelField("Written Text:", text);
		}
	}
