Question

Answer 1

For SwiftUI, try

TextField ("Email", text: $email)
    .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle()).padding()
SecureField ("Password", text: $password)
    .textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle()).padding()

Answer 2

You can do this by using properties of textfield from Attribute inspector

Tap on Your Textfield from storyboard and go to Attribute inspector , and just check the checkbox of "Secure Text Entry" SS is added for graphical overview to achieve same

Answer 3

Programmatically (Swift 4 & 5)

self.passwordTextField.isSecureTextEntry = true

Answer 4

You can achieve this directly in Xcode:

The very last checkbox, make sure secure is checked .

Or you can do it using code:

Identifies whether the text object should hide the text being entered.

Declaration

optional var secureTextEntry: Bool { get set }

Discussion

This property is set to false by default. Setting this property to true creates a password-style text object, which hides the text being entered.

example:

texfield.secureTextEntry = true

Answer 5

Swift 4 and Xcode Version 9+

Can be set via "Secure Text Entry" via Interface Builder

Answer 6

in Swift 3.0 or Later

passwordTextField.isSecureTextEntry = true
