    User Password On A Button - Encrypt Password

    Hi,

    Can someone tell me how to display a password a user enters in an input box associated with a button as xxxxx so that the actual password doesn't display as it is entered by user? Using code below.
    Dim Pass As String
        Pass = Application.InputBox("Enter password")
        Select Case Pass
            Case "mypassword"
              'run code'
               
            Case Else
            MsgBox "Sorry - Incorrect Password", vbCritical
                Exit Sub
        End Select
    Thank you much.

    Hello mab,

    The InputBox doesn't have a setting for passwords, i.e. showing an asterisk for the actual character typed. You will need to use a VBA UserForm with a TextBox control. Set the TextBox control's PasswordChar to an asterisk (*). When the user types, the only char displayed will be the asterisk.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.

    Hi mab
    Using that same approach as Leith Ross mentioned, I have attached a sample workbook that may work for you. It uses a userform that looks like an input box.
