Password InputField value

Hi,
If I type a password with an inputfield of type password then try to get it by code using myField.text.text it returns me what is shown on the UI, namely asterisks.
Is there a way to get the text behind the asterisks or is it delivered on next Release?
Thanks.

 

you dont want to look at the text.text value when using a input field. This is because the input field just overrides that value with what should be shown (in your case the asterisks). To get the written value of the input field look at myField.value.

 

Just solved it. I had to use value instead of text.

 

Hello,

I have the same problem but I can't find the value method.
my code :

public GameObject username;
public GameObject password;
public UnityEngine.UI.Text username_text
public UnityEngine.UI.Text password_text

public void login()
{
username_text = username.GetComponent<Text>();
password_text = password.GetComponent<Text>();

Debug.Log("the password is : " + password_text.text);
}

The Value method is for my GameObject or for my component ?

the .value was renamed to .text and .text to .textComponent. you need to use .text now.

 

.text does not work for me. I only get asterisks

Edit: I've got it. Have to use InputField.text not Text.text

 

Please show the exact code usage which worked for you. I am also stuck similarly

 

You simply need a reference to your InputField and then you can access the input by calling .text on it

 

With a reference to the inputField, myField.text still returns asterisks.

 

Ahh, I see.

You need to have a InputField Variable and not a Text Variable.
IE:

InputField myField.text

Not :

Text myField.text

 

Thanks
string password = GameObject.Find ("input_register_password").GetComponent<InputField>().text;
