Answer 2

The way you can define a field so that when entering data for that field it will display instead of actual typed text is as follows:

• We can always want to define a field so that it shows asterisk instead of the actual text.
• It is very important for us to to make sure the safety of our passwords.
• If we are not careful enough, it could easily get copied, and then people other than ourselves, will be able to use it, causing significant harm to us. To use asterisk (*) or dot (•) instead of the text, we have to use the 'placeholder' attribute, and 'password' type of HTML5.
• The format goes like below:
• <input type="password" placeholder="***" id="txtPwd" runat="server" />
