As others have noted, the property is secureTextEntry, but you won't find this in the UITextField documentation, as it is actually inherited by a UITextField through the UITextInputTraits protocol- https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITextInputTraits_Protocol/#//apple_ref/occ/intfp/UITextInputTraits/secureTextEntry

You can simply toggle this value each time your button is tapped:

@IBAction func togglePasswordSecurity(sender: UIButton) {
    self.passwordField.secureTextEntry = !self.passwordField.secureTextEntry
}
