Reveal Passcode dots using Swift

Question

How do I reveal the passcode dots in swift, so then the user can see their password by clicking a button. Thanks Tyge

Answer 1

TextField has a property called secureTextEntry. All you need is to connect an outlet to your textfield and toggle secureTextEntry:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var passwordField: UITextField!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        passwordField.secureTextEntry = true
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }
    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }

    @IBAction func showHide(sender: UIButton) {
        passwordField.secureTextEntry = !passwordField.secureTextEntry
        sender.setTitle({passwordField.secureTextEntry ? "Show":"Hide"}(), forState: .Normal)
    }
}

stackoverflow provides a working search engine, but anyway here you is the answer.

Do the same, but with false instead of true

By the way make sure that the user knows what he does when reveal the secure text.
