The EditBox Control Object that is returned by the AddEditBox function has a Password property. The Password property allows the Edit Box to hide the characters that are entered in the Edit Box—each character is displayed as an asterisk. This is useful for password fields, where the password needs to be entered but has to be hidden from view.
