public void PassworChange(int Password)
{
inputPassword.contentType = InputField.ContentType.Standard;

well, the two lines in my post above is two ways of doing it: .standard = you will see the text an by using .password you will not se the password you type. In your code you will not see the characters, only asterisks. Start there.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class PasswordFields: MonoBehaviour {
public InputField password;

}

void Start () {
    password.contentType = InputField.ContentType.Password;

}

I think this makes it more clear. You have to drag your Input Field in Unity to the “public InputField” when you add the script to a game object

Step By Step
TMPro [u]InputField or Unity InputField for Password ContenctType Show and Hide.[/u]
1) Create Script InputFieldTest.cs and added to any empty gameobject and create simple UI.

public TMP_InputField PasswordIF;
public Image ShowPassImgIcon,HidePassImgIcon;

public void ShowPassBtnClick()
{
ShowPassImgIcon.enabled = false;
HidePassImgIcon.enabled = true;
SetPasswordContentType(PasswordIF,TMP_InputField.ContentType.Standard);
}
public void HidePassBtnClick()
{
HidePassImgIcon.enabled = false;
ShowPassImgIcon.enabled = true;
SetPasswordContentType(PasswordIF,TMP_InputField.ContentType.Password);
}
private void SetPasswordContentType(TMP_InputField tmp_if, TMP_InputField.ContentType contetTypePass)
{
tmp_if.contentType = contetTypePass;
tmp_if.DeactivateInputField();
tmp_if.ActivateInputField();
}


2) Button click method via inspector OnClick Method...call ShowPassBtnClick() ,HidePassBtnClick() 
or 
ShowPassBtn.OnClick.AddListener(()=>ShowPassBtnClick())
HidePassBtn.OnClick.AddListener(()=>HidePassBtnClick())
in Start Method.

ShowPassBtn.OnClick.RemoveListener(()=>ShowPassBtnClick())
HidePassBtn.OnClick.AddListener(()=>HidePassBtnClick()) 
in Destroy or Disable Method.

  • Must Use in Newer Veriosn ForceLabelUpdate in Lower version of unity use LabelUpdate

  • Below Example Code

public class ShowPassword : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private TMP_InputField userPassword;

    public void ShowUserPassword()
    {
        if (userPassword.contentType == TMP_InputField.ContentType.Password)
        {
            userPassword.contentType = TMP_InputField.ContentType.Standard;
        }
        else
        {
            userPassword.contentType = TMP_InputField.ContentType.Password;
        }
        userPassword.ForceLabelUpdate();
    }
}

Attatch any object and Click on button Call ShowUserPassword.
