I am using this code but I cannot get current characters.
function [] = edit2_keypressfcn(varargin)
password = get(edit2,'userdata');
key = get(fig,'currentkey');
switch key
case 'backspace'
password = password(1:end-1);
SizePass = size(password);
if SizePass(2) > 0
asterisk(1,1:SizePass(2)) = '•';
set(edit2,'String',asterisk)
else
set(edit2,'String','')
end
set(edit2,'Userdata',password)
case 'escape'
case 'insert'
case 'delete'
case 'home'
case 'pageup'
case 'pagedown'
case 'end'
case 'rightarrow'
case 'downarrow'
case 'leftarrow'
case 'uparrow'
case 'shift'
case 'return'
pus1_callback(varargin);
case 'alt'
case 'control'
case 'windows'
otherwise
password = [password get(fig,'currentcharacter')];
SizePass = size(password);
if SizePass(2) > 0
asterisk(1:SizePass(2)) = '*';
set(edit2,'string',asterisk)
else
set(edit2,'String','');
end
set(edit2,'Userdata',password) ;
end
end

I don't believe this is possible. What you can do is making a text field that looks like an edit field, and then use this code.
BTW, this code will probably break if the users presses backspace more than there are chars in the current stored password.
