@Mike. Thanks I'll look at this - I knew I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel.

However:

@Uli. My little solution actually works rather nicely (at least in Greek and 
English). When the user enters a new password, it overwrites the asterisks 
(I'll change them to bullets), and the user can see what he/she is writing. I 
never understood why people can't see what they are typing in. When the user 
subsequently moves to a new field or record, the password field is then hidden.

By the way, I've read articles and help messages you have all sent over the 
years, as I try to catch up with Cocoa. I find it really impressive how long 
you have been at it, and how long you have been helping each other, and people 
like me. I still find messages from 10 years ago or more that seem just as 
relevant and useful today.

Thanks!
