I have in my main stack a field named "Pass"  with this script in the 
fld


local thisPassword
on returninfield
   get thisPassword
   if it is <whatever>" then
     go to stack <whatever>
   else
     answer "Invalid password !"
   end if
   close this stack
end returninfield

on enterinfield
   returninfield
end enterinfield

on keydown whichKey
    put whichKey after thisPassword
   put "*" after field "pass" --asterisk or whatever another char you 
want
end keyDown

on backspaceKey
   put empty into field "pass"
   put "" into thisPassword
end backspaceKey

on deleteKey
   put empty into field "pass"
   put "" into thisPassword
end deleteKey



hope this helps
