title: "TextObfuscationMode"
description: "Defines how the text will be obscured in secure text fields.

Text obscuring refers to replacing the original text content with a mask via various methods. It
is most common in password fields.

Users are generally accustomed to different default experiences for secure text input on various
platforms. On desktop, the convention is to keep the input entirely hidden. Conversely, mobile
platforms typically offer a brief reveal of the last typed character. This reveal lasts for a
short duration or until another character is entered, aiding users in tracking their input while
maintaining privacy by not exposing too much information."

## Companion Object

#### Properties

<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
val Visible = TextObfuscationMode(0)
```


Do not obscure any content, making all the content visible.

It can be useful when you want to briefly reveal the content by toggling a reveal icon.



<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
val RevealLastTyped = TextObfuscationMode(1)
```


Reveals the last typed character for a short amount of time.

Note; on Android this feature also depends on a system setting called
`Settings.System.TEXT_SHOW_PASSWORD`. If the system setting is disabled, this option
behaves exactly as `Hidden`.



<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>


```kotlin
val Hidden = TextObfuscationMode(2)
```


All characters are hidden.
