How to make the password field not show the password, instead show **

[DarkMercenary44]

I'm makeing a program and want it to be password protected, I want the password to print out &quot;*&quot; when they type a letter, that way the real password isn't shown, but i still want the password itself stored in a variable when they hit enter, so I can match it against a database.<br><br>HELP
