Password is displaying instead of dots

You are probably using a userform.
If so, you will have to specify a password character in the userform's text box properties.

I am not using a 'userform'. I am new to VBA. Here's what I have for my code:

I wouldn't know how one could hide a password by dummy characters in a simple input box!
Just use a userform; it's not so difficult.
Same as you can add modules in the VBA editor, you can add forms as well.
All you need is a label to replace your InputBox's prompt and a text box which would be used to type the password.

Hi, jlheath01,

Your post #3 does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code.

Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

Highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

Hi, jlheath01,

if I´m honest I would have preferrred that you edit the post instead of posting a new one - this leaves the old one still without the tags.

If you want to stick with the InputBox you will have to use API to mask the characters, there is no way to do it in VBA wirth an InputBox directoly. If you try and experience with a UserForm you might add a textbox there with your choice of password character. Additionaly there would be a label for a description, two buttons (one for Cancel, one for Submit).
