Hide password with “•••••••” in a textField

Question

Answer 1

In XCode 6.3.1, if you use a NSTextField you will not see the checkbox for secure.

Instead of using NSTextField use NSSecureTextField

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSSecureTextField_Class/index.html

I'm guessing this is a Swift/Objective-C change since there is now a class for secure text fields. In the above link it says Available in OS X v10.0 and later. If you know more about when/why/what versions of Swift/Objective-C, XCode, or OS X this
