You can execute your code on the editingFinished() signal of QLineEdit. It will be executed when the QLineEdit loses focus.

lineEdit1 = QtGui.QLineEdit()
lineEdit1.setEchoMode(2)
passWord = lineEdit1.text()

of course you can't get anything, because when lineEdit1.text() is executed, I believe there is no characters input into lineEdit1.
You should call passWord = lineEdit1.text() by some action when the input is over, for example, click a button.
