Question

I have a password field with text “Password” and when user clicks, it gets cleared. Moreover I want to set the type of this textfield as secure but this doesn´t work.

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField{

  if ([textField.text isEqualToString:@"Password"] || [textField.text isEqualToString:@"Email"])
  {
  textField.text = @"";
      textField.secureTextEntry = YES;
  }
}

Answer 1

set the property in interface builder or when you initialize textfield remove the line from

-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
}

I think you should set placeholder text as email or password and pre select the secure text entry from interface builder.That’s it…
