Obscure a UITextField password

I am doing a login page. I have UITextField for password.

Obviously, I do not want the password to be seen; instead, I want circles to show when typing. How do you set the field for this to happen?

Please set your UItextField property secure..

Try this..

textFieldSecure.secureTextEntry = true

textFieldSecure is your UITextField...

For newer Swift version, it is textFieldSecure.isSecureTextEntry = true
