Hello,

Im sorry that the title was misleading maybe, but I think its right.

Now, I made a protected startup-thing and I dont want the password to appear, I want it to change to *'s when I type something in. For example,

Instead of:
Please insert the password.
Password: thIsAPassword

To:
Please insert the password.
Password: ************

I know its possible, but I couldnt figure out how to do it.
Please help, thanks.

Like Pinkishu said, replace any read() calls you have with read("*"), and make sure it's read("*"), not io.read("*") since that doesn't work.
