Hiding text of a string (like passwords)

I need to set an "Edit Text" as a password input area, and I want the text entered by users is not visible, but replaced by symbols.

I think it's necessary to have two files, one with the actual passwords and one with the "encryption", in order to compare the real password and login

Do you have any idea on how to set up work?

Thanks in advance!

Even if I used another way, you tried to help me!

See if this will help http://blogs.mathworks.com/pick/2007/10/05/masking-typed-passwords-with-asterisks/

Uhm... Yes, the video shows exactly what I need, but there is no information about how to set it in a gui... I tried inserting "logindlg" in my password area callback but it doesn't work...

Right under the video there is a link to get a file.

There is a function 'KeyPress_Function' almost at the end of the script

Thanks for the indication... I'll try it and if it works, I'll accept your answer!
