Input Field Problem when set to Password

I'm probably missing something really simple but I am unable to collect the text that is entered into a password field, I only get the *'s.

My code looks like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Text txtPass
2. txtPass = rtPass.GetComponent<Text>();
3. string strPass = txtPass.text;

And when I enter the word password into the input field strPass contains "********" so how do I get out "password"?

Thanks.

 

Use InputField.value instead of .text...

Code (CSharp):

1. Text txtPass
2. txtPass = rtPass.GetComponent<Text>();
3. string strPass = txtPass.value;

I got mixed up because I was using the Text item that was a child of the InputField instead of the InputField itself.

This works:

Code (CSharp):

1.     InputField ifPass
2.     ifPass = rtPass.GetComponent<InputField>();
3.     string strPass = ifPass.value;
4.  

 

i have created inputField and script attached to this .i am getting the error "rtPass" doesn't exist in the current context
