Function: read-passwd-mode

read-passwd-mode is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in auth-source.el.gz.

Signature

(read-passwd-mode &optional ARG)

Documentation

Toggle visibility of password in minibuffer.

This is a minor mode. If called interactively, toggle the Read-Passwd mode mode. If the prefix argument is positive, enable the mode, and if it is zero or negative, disable the mode.

If called from Lisp, toggle the mode if ARG is toggle. Enable the mode if ARG is nil, omitted, or is a positive number. Disable the mode if ARG is a negative number.

To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer, evaluate the variable read-passwd-mode(var)/read-passwd-mode(fun).

The mode's hook is called both when the mode is enabled and when it is disabled.
