You’re talking about  native.newTextField()

Everything you need do know in order to create a ‘password’ field can be found here (see code at bottom of linked page):

https://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/api/library/native/newTextField.html

Don’t forget to investigate the links at the top:

  • TextField

  • object.inputType

  • Make a blank app,

  • include the code from the docs,

  • Run it (on a device or in the OS X simulator; Wont work in Windows Simulator).

  • Modify it

  • Explore features and settings.

  • You will get it, but it will take time and effort.
