I want a fully secure text entry in one of my text fields. I set isSecureTextEntry to true But when a user presses a key, the pressed character will pop up for the preview and I need to disable this.

Is there any way I can do that?

I know it can be turned off by the user in settings but I need to do that in code myself.

Can you post a screenshot? If you eman that iOS shows the actual character for a small period of time, this is the default iOS behavior. – inexcitus Nov 07 '19 at 07:43
Are you looking for this code? : var isSecure = true if(isSecure == true) { passwordTF.secureTextEntry = false } else { passwordTF.secureTextEntry = true } isSecure = !isSecure – Dhaval Raval Nov 07 '19 at 07:45
are you mean the auto suggestion in keyboard – Anbu.Karthik Nov 07 '19 at 07:47

I am afraid you need to use your own customized UITextField described here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48185533/how-to-hide-passwords-in-a-uitextfield-like?noredirect=1&lq=1 – kirander Nov 07 '19 at 08:01
@SasanSoroush - by default behaviour of keyboard, we cant handle this, if you need then go with keyboard extension. – Anbu.Karthik Nov 07 '19 at 08:03
