Is it possible to set a password textbox text to text that the user could not reproduce on their end?
Like are there special characters that can only be set from the server?
For instance, one way to do this would be to use javascript to prevent typing of *'s, and to set the textbox text to be all *'s. But that's hacky.
The motivation is to be able to tell on the server if the user changed the password at all, but not to restrict them from having a password of all *'s, for instance.
