How to Hide your Password when Typing on Android Phone (Best Method)

On Android phones, the best way to hide your password while typing is to disable the "Show passwords" option in Settings or use the password visibility toggle in supported apps.

Option 1 — Disable “Show Passwords” in System Settings
Most Android devices have a system-wide setting that briefly shows password characters as you type. To hide them completely:
Open Settings on your phone.

Navigate to Security & privacy or More security settings.
Tap Privacy.

Find Show passwords or Make password visible and turn it off

Once disabled, typed characters will immediately appear as dots or asterisks, preventing anyone from seeing your password even for a split second

Option 2 — Use App-Level Password Visibility Toggle
Many apps provide an eye icon in the password field that lets you toggle visibility:

Open the app and go to a login or password field.
Look for an eye icon at the end of the field.
Tap the icon to switch between showing and hiding your password

In Android development, this feature can be implemented using TextInputLayout and TextInputEditText with the attribute app:passwordToggleEnabled="true" if you’re creating a custom app interface

Option 3 — Use Secure Keyboard Apps
Some third-party keyboard apps allow disabling temporary password visibility or masking keystrokes while typing. These apps can provide additional layers of security against shoulder-surfing.
