        ['Ok','Exit']              // buttonLabels
    );
}

but it doesnt have any option for password

Answer 1

You need to look at the native code to display password promt. As I never need a "normal prompt", I have changed the code in the phonegap plugins for iOS and android but I am sure there is a better way to do it.

for iOS in Plugins/CDVNotification.m

   - (void)showDialogWithMessage:(NSString*)message title:(NSString*)title buttons:(NSArray*)buttons defaultText:(NSString*)defaultText callbackId:(NSString*)callbackId dialogType:(NSString*)dialogType
{

CDVAlertView* alertView = [[CDVAlertView alloc]
    initWithTitle:title
              message:message
             delegate:self
    cancelButtonTitle:nil
    otherButtonTitles:nil];

alertView.callback

Id = callbackId;

    int count = [buttons count];

    for (int n = 0; n < count; n++) {
        [alertView addButtonWithTitle:[buttons objectAtIndex:n]];
    }

    if ([dialogType isEqualToString:DIALOG_TYPE_PROMPT]) {
        alertView.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStyleSecureTextInput; /*this is what you need*/
        UITextField* textField = [alertView textFieldAtIndex:0];
        textField.text = defaultText;
    }

    [alertView show];
}

and for android in src/org/apache/cordova/dialogs/notification.java

public synchronized void prompt(final String message, final String title, final JSONArray buttonLabels, final String defaultText, final CallbackContext callbackContext) {

        final CordovaInterface cordova = this.cordova;
        final EditText promptInput =  new EditText(cordova.getActivity());
        promptInput.setHint(defaultText);
        promptInput.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
...

You just need to add one line in

App Name\platforms\android\src\org\apache\cordova\dialogs\Notification.java

promptInput.setInputType(0x00000081);
