Hello List,
Hope your all ready for the Holidays, I know I am. :)
I have a situation where I want to display a users password as
bullets instead of the actual password characters once read from the

Hi Andy,
Sorry, I guess I should have explained better.
I was speaking about what comes up on the preview page for the
information.
I wanted the passwords to display as bullets so they could not see
the encrypted text,
nor be able to copy the text and try it in any decryption process if

I see. Good point.
Forgive me with my noob approach.
