No, you can't.
The popup is browser controlled and can't be changed.
you can use javascript dialog box for it
HTML CODE
<div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog"> <input type="password" size="25" /> </div> JAVASCRIPT CODE
$( "#dialog" ).dialog(); prompt is native browser functionality, and therefore not very flexible. Unfortunately, you cannot mask the input from a prompt.
Alternatively, you can use the input element with the password type:
<input type="password" size="25" /> And show this in a custom modal window. An input element with the type="password" attribute set, will automatically mask the entered characters. On how to embed this in a modal, there are many possibilities. If you are using jQuery, you might want to consider using jQuery UI for this: http://jqueryui.com/dialog/
