Html input control for passwords - not showing no of characters typed or showing spaces instead of dots

Question

Is is possible to use the password element in html input type="password" in a mode whereby one dosn't show the characters types as asterixes/circles but as spaces/nothing so noone would know the length of the password.

Answer 1

Could you make the text color the same as the background? (Haven't tried it myself....)

Answer 2

In theory:

some-selector {
  background-color: white;
  color: white;
}

The selector could be input[type=password] if you don't care about browsers that don't support attribute selectors (i.e. older versions of IE)
