    BuiltIn.InputBox is intended to open a very simple dialog.  There are no fancy bells and whistles with this dialog like masking passwords or anything like that.

     

    If you want to have a dialog come up that prompts for a password and masks the data entry on screen, you'll want to use the "UserForms" feature of TestComplete.  When you add a TcxTextEdit component to a user form, under the properties for that component, there is a property called "EchoMode".  By default, that's set to eemNormal. If you change that to eemPassword, it masks the data entry on screen as the user types.
