title: CSS to make a text field look like password field
body: <p>How can I set the CSS for an input field of type <code>text</code> in html to appear as a password field, i.e. the text in the input seems to get replaced with a symbol such as the asterisk ("*") or a dot ("•")?</p>
  
  <p>I have this constraint:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;input name="passwordish" type="text" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password" &gt;
  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>EDIT: Sorry if this was not clear, but for some snowflakish reasons I can't change the field type!</p>
