Solution
As this comment says if you would just like to set the value of an `NSSecureTextField` just use `setStringValue:` on it. If you would like to be able to read what is in the `NSSecureTextField` you can call `setEchosBullets:` and pass `false` to make it show the actual text.
Problem
I am making a login page, when I get user input its fine. The credentials are going to be stored in a file. The values stored in file get set as the string of the `NSTextField`. If I use `NSSecureTextField` the password is never seen by user when I read the values from my file. I searched but was unable to view the password in my UI. I want to know if there is any way to make the password visible in my `NSSecureTextField`. I just tried it with `NSTextField` but then the user can see passwords being entered.
