Unhappy Input Box for Password - Show Asterisks

I have two simple VB input boxes in Excel to capture username and password. I want the box for the password to display asterisks ***** instead of the text typed in to preserve security.

I have had no luck finding how to do this. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

I don't know about Excel, but most VB and VBA text boxes have a password property you can set.

Yep normally, vb textboxes have a property called passwordchar

You set the passwordchar as *

I have just checked it and it is there.
