Editor's Note: This was a File Exchange Pick of the Week

This is a login dialog which replaces all characters typed into the password area with asterisks. Both the login and password are returned by the function as strings.

Version information can be found in the m-file. Examples can be found in the m-file help.

Note: The password is only visually hidden. While the dialog is active it is stored in the Userdata of the password edit box.
