Hello Everyone, [SOLVED! It seems to be due to a bug when testing the app online] I am currently trying to make a chat app with a sign in screen, but I am having a very basic issue - the password text isn’t appearing as dots even though I turned on SecureTextEntry. Here are some images of what it looks like. ![Screenshot 2020-03-24 at 14.40.58](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/1/31313caaee74eae3f75028bd9873a4015f2f2afb.png) ![Screenshot 2020-03-24 at 14.41.49](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/4/54f3ff43a1b080923abaf14fa229565e820d1d96.png) ---

Hey @tanvi.is.cool 👋 welcome to the community! Thanks for your question - you might have found a bug? can you let is know if that screenshot is from web testing or if you are publishing your project as a web app? Thanks! ---

Hi @domhnallohanlon, This is coming from web testing. I am publishing as an iOS app. Just tested this on my iOS device and it works as it should! It seems to be a bug then. ---

yep, I’ve reproduced this on my end too - good catch! I’ll file a bug report for you now and we should be able to have a fix out in the coming days. P.S: Please use the edit button ✏ to update or add information to an existing post, rather than making multiple posts in a row. I’ve gone ahead and merged your two posts into one for you this time. Thanks! ---
