sorry but the suggestion does not work very well when used in mobile mode.

Do specific features have to be used?

The "ask password" command has no specific properties you can use to change its appearance or its behavior. I don't use it in either mobile or desktop apps because it was developed for systems back in the 80s and it violates the rules of almost all modern operating systems. And on mobile it is particularly ugly.

Dialog boxes are intrusive, and using them makes your app look dated. Apple HIG says not to use them, and Google doesn't even mention them because Android has never had them.

On mobile you can set the property contentType of a native field to password.

I forgot about that, it's a much better solution.
