If you mean hiding the password while you write it,

There is no direct way of doing that.

The changed password outputs in the chatbox of the client only. It doesn't appear in server logs or any other place, so this is not dangerous.

no i need when player type the password Everyone around player can not a password written on page see

[KariiiM]

Use the function

guiEditSetMasked

They don't see it as Gravestone said (Try with a friend and you will check by yourself).

[Apo]

For example, you change the password for the forum when you're writing new code , the dots or star was to show

And those around you are able to see the code written on the page are not displayed

when i am type the changepass my pass msked

I would not even be able to see new password

function ChangePlayerPassword(player, command, oldpass, newpass) 
    -- get the account the player is currently logged into 
    local account = getPlayerAccount(player) 
    if (account) then 
        -- if its only a guest account, do not allow the password to be changed 
        if (isGuestAccount(account)) then 
            outputChatBox("You must be logged into an account to change your password.", player)  
            -- end the function 
            return 
        end 
  
        -- check that the old password is correct 
        local password_check = getAccount(getAccountName(account), oldpass) 
        if (password_check) then 
            -- check the length of the new password 
            if (string.len(newpass)>=5) then 
                setAccountPassword(account,newpass) 
            else 
                outputChatBox("Your new password must be at least 5 characters long.", player) 
            end 
        else 
            outputChatBox("Old password invalid.", player) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("changepass", ChangePlayerPassword)

Oh you mean people around you in real life. Well that's another case. We are not responsible for that, you can hide your keyboard and then type. (That's what most people do)

hide your keyboard and write while your friends see the password at the screen

I think you need to convert ur system to GUI based and use function that karim posted cuz i think there is no way to change char in the chatbox while you re typing it
