I have a text field in my view, which has secured text entry (as it is a password field) and placeholder text of "Password". However, upon running my application, the "Password" placeholder is replaced with 8 dots, as if it were a password. How do I change it such that the original text is displayed?

6Can you add some code or screenshots of your storyboard? – Jay Jul 24 '17 at 07:59

No need to write any code for this. Just set the following properties of UITextField:
PGDev
- 22,484
- 6
- 31
- 76

That's what I currently have set up (with the addition of the clear button being visible), but it still secures the placeholder text. Is it a problem with the simulator from previous builds? – mistry Jul 24 '17 at 12:07

I have used the same setup and getting no issues. I have added the screenshot of the running app. – PGDev Jul 24 '17 at 12:12
