您如何在 Tkinter 中设置条目参数“显示”以始终在条目字段中显示固定数量的星号？

Question

I set the 'show' parameter to '*' so that Entry field doesn't reveal what was typed in. The issue I am having is, it hints how long the word actually is. So, for example, if I type in word 'blue', it will show as '****' which hints it's a 4 characters long word. Also, the solution code needs to work with the random function filling in the above mentioned field

How do I solve this easy way?

EDIT: To put things into a context this is the code of the app I made.

import random
from tkinter import *

def num_guess():
    try:
        int(num_input.get())

    except ValueError:
        Ans = "You must enter a number in your number field!\n"
        result_field.insert(INSERT, Ans)

    if int(num_input.get()) == int(hidden_num):
        Ans = "Congrats you guessed correctly!\n"
        result_field.insert(INSERT, Ans)
        secret_num.delete(0, END)
        secret_num.insert(END, hidden_num) 

    elif int(num_input.get()) in range(int(hidden_num) - 2, int(hidden_num) + 3):
        Ans = "You are very close to secret number!..." + str(num_input.get()) + "\n"    
        result_field.insert(INSERT, Ans)

    elif int(num_input.get()) in range(int(hidden_num) - 5, int(hidden_num) + 6):
        Ans = "You are close to secret number!..." + str(num_input.get()) + "\n"    
        result_field.insert(INSERT, Ans)

    elif int(num_input.get()) in range(int(hidden_num) - 10, int(hidden_num) + 11):
        Ans = "You are relatively close to secret number!..." + str(num_input.get()) + "\n"    
        result_field.insert(INSERT, Ans)

    elif int(num_input.get()) in range(int(hidden_num) - 15, int(hidden_num) + 16):
        Ans = "You are far from secret number!..." + str(num_input.get()) + "\n"   
        result_field.insert(INSERT, Ans)

    else:
        Ans = "You are very far from secret number!..." + str(num_input.get()) + "\n"   
        result_field.insert(INSERT, Ans)

def start_new():
    global hidden_num
    result_field.delete('1.0', END)
    secret_num.delete(0, END)
    secret_num.insert(END, random.randint(1,100)) 
    hidden_num = secret_num.get()
    secret_num.delete(0, END)
    secret_num.insert(END, "***")
    result_field.insert(INSERT, "Now enter your number as a guess!\n") 

def hide_num():
    global hidden_num

    try:
        int(secret_num.get())
        hidden_num = secret_num.get()
        secret_num.delete(0, END)
        secret_num.insert(END, "***")
        result_field.insert(INSERT, "Now enter your number as a guess!\n") 

    except ValueError:
        Ans = "You must enter a number in secret number field!\n"
        result_field.insert(INSERT, Ans)    

hidden_num = 0

window = Tk()
window.title('Guess the Number!')
Label(window, text = "").grid(row=0)

b4 = Button(window, text = "Hide number", command=hide_num, width=12)
b4.grid(row=7, column=3, sticky = 'W')

window.mainloop()

Answer 1

Use this code:

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()

passwordInput = Entry(root, show = "   ‍   ")
passwordInput.pack()

root.mainloop()

Make sure to copy the code in the show = carefully. It will be not the same length as an empty space so to throw people off. Copy it here (between the quotes): " ‍ " Note that it is an iEmpty blank character

If you want, you can set the show to this: (just a space key)

Answer 2

How do you set Entry parameter 'show' in Tkinter to always show fixed number of asterisks in Entry field? .. How do I solve this easy way?

There is no easy way, and there's no way to use the show attribute to hide the length other than to set show to whitespace.

If you need something more secure you'll have to create your own bindings that accept input from a user and then display something else.
