input - Changing the symbols shown in a HTML password field

Question

Is there any way to change the asterisks (*), or in some browsers a bullet (?), that appears in password fields in HTML?

Answer 1

Create your own font and use @font-face and font-family (and font-size) for input[type="password"]. It should help to solve your problem. But... you must create font with replaced bullet and asterisk character. All character numbers in font may represent the same character. Use google to find free program to edit vector fonts.

Never say "it is impossible". You should find a hack for your problem.

Characters to be replaced with your symbol (for Chrome, Firefox and MSIE): 26AB, 25E6, 25CF, 25D8, 25D9, 2219, 20F0, 2022, 2024, 00B7, 002A.
