Hi everyone,  
I am building an app that requires login with password. But, when I set the Secure Text entry property to true for password as shown,

The `SecureTextEntry` only works in the Thunkable Live Test App. It does not work in the web test.

This is a long standing unresolved issue. I have accepted this is probably not going to be fixed anytime soon. [[Solved] Hide password in Thunkable? - #21 by drted](http://community.thunkable.com/t/solved-hide-password-in-thunkable/61319/21)

Thank you. Does it work when you run the apk installed on the phone?

Yes it does.

I created a workaround if you are interested,
