If you create a little password userform, the textbox has a property to echo
back a character, it is called PasswordChar, and can be any character.

Hi! I have an input box in which the user shall insert a password. I want
the
signs that the user submits to not be shown (ie if the password is
"bolero" I
want the user just to see "*****" when he/she enters the password). is it
possible to do this and how can it be done? thanks!
