Make Input Type=“Password” Use Number Pad on Mobile Devices

Question

On my site designed for mobile devices I have an input field that is used for PIN numbers. I want the text to be hidden as it is entered and I want the number pad to pop up

Answer 1

The straightforward ways like using "pattern" and "inputmode" not working in Android nor IOS, so I emplemented the below workaround using CSS, and JavaScript.

HTML

JavaScript

$().ready(function(){
var xTriggered = 0;
$( "#passReal" ).keyup(function( event ) {
  $('#pass').val($('#passReal').val());
  console.log( event );
});
$( "#pass" ).focus(function() {
  $('#passReal').focus();
});

  });

Style:

input#passReal{
  width:1px;
  height:10px;
}
input#pass {
    position: absolute;
left:0px;
}
