Instead of checking `input.Text`, you should make a new variable, for example, codeSoFar = "". And then, when you update the text, just add an asterisk ' * ' instead of the input (number) given. LetThereBeCode 360 — 9y

Capture your Text as it changes.
1 | local curr = '' |
2 | textBox.Changed:connect(function(p) |
3 | if p == 'Text' then |
4 | curr = curr..textBox.Text:sub(-1,-1); |
5 | curr = curr:sub(1,#textBox.Text); |
6 | textBox.Text = textBox.Text:gsub('.','*'); |
7 | end |
8 | end) |
It could be done more efficiently, but this should work. Appropriately handles deleting text, and should sub out every character for asterisks. Just remember to check against the curr variable for the text when you need to do comparisons and things.
