How to create a password entry field using Tkinter

python, tkinter

Solution

A quick google search yielded this

widget = Entry(parent, show="*", width=15)

where `widget` is the text field, `parent` is the parent widget (a window, a frame, whatever), `show` is the character to echo (that is the character shown in the `Entry`) and `width` is the widget's width.

Problem

I am trying to code a login window using Tkinter but I'm not able to hide the password text in asterisk format. This means the password entry is plain text, which has to be avoided. Any idea how to do it?
