Password protected indicator.

[nvn2005]

I want to password protected my indicator, below is what I can come up with but there is a flaw. I don't want the real characters to show when user type password in the inputs box instead replace the typed character with asterisks * could someone help me fix it? thanks.

input string  password = "0";

void OnInit()

  {

  if (password != "abcd") //<-- Assigned password.
      {  
      Alert ("Wrong password!");
       return;
       }

mql5 thanks for you reply, but your method still does not mask out the inputs characters. ABC still display (anyone could read the pw if shown)... should be *** when user type in ABC.
