The QLineEdit class has several modes which allow you to control how its text is displayed. To show only asterisks (*), do this:

self.password = QLineEdit()
self.password.setEchoMode(QLineEdit.Password)
...
output = self.password.text()

PS:

To set a different password character, you can use this stylesheet property:

self.password.setStyleSheet('lineedit-password-character: 9679')

The number is a unicode code point, which in this case is for a black circle (●).
