Just for the benefit of anyone with a similar question in the future, the setting required for this is called “[Secure Text Entry](http://community.thunkable.com/t/hide-password-in-thunkable-x/61319/2)”

ehhh - if you were able to solve this issue in 9 minutes then perhaps there wasn’t a need for the post in the first place?

It also doesn’t make much sense to mark your own response as the “solution” if it doesn’t actually contain an answer to the question, so I’m moving it to this post.
The whole point of having [solved](http://community.thunkable.com/tag/solved) posts is that so other community members can share in and learn from our collective experience.
