Hi friends,
A big thanks to Dave, David A. Desrosiers,
Bradly J. Barton and P. Alan Johnson. So the bottom line is not to mask the
password. Lol. :-)
Thanks
Prasanth

Show the password on the screen, don't mask it. The input methods
are not
accurate enough to prevent mistakes. Besides, the Palm is small
enough so
no one should be looking over your shoulder.
or write your password dialog complete with numeric/alphanumeric
buttons so
the user doesn't use the built-in keyboard or graffiti.
Check the archives for the numerous discussions on this topic.
