Password InputField Censored (****) - Logging and Registration

Question

I am planning to do logging and registration. But I have a problem. I can't make the password InputField became like ***** (censored).

And maybe it wouldn't affect your answers but my game will be on the android platform.

Thank you.

I use UI. I havent seen password field setting for UI. And show text is enabled. but I dont wanna hide text. I just want to add * when he wrote one character. E.g. when the player click on 'h' it should write '', than 'i' to ''. But not when he done writing like 'hi' to '**' – Nodose
