Text entry that is set for password is returning asterix instead of text in maui

Question

In .net Maui, I have this field: <Entry x:Name="Password" WidthRequest="200" IsPassword="True" /> However, when I try to access the text of the field with Password.Text, all I get are Asterix's *** and a letter, for example if I enter test as the value, Password.Text gives me ***t

What is going on here?

update

Nevermind, it appears when I use a remote desktop session, the text is entered weirdly.

Hello,

it appears when I use a remote desktop session

It means that you are testing on iOS platform.

for example if I enter test as the value, Password.Text gives me ***t

It's the default behavior on iOS platform.

You got asterix because you set IsPassword to True.

Entry provides the IsPassword property which visually obscures entered text when it's set to true

Please see Obscure text entry
