How to Unmask Password Text Box and Mask It Back to Password

How can I unmask password text box and mask it back to password?

Just set the property to '\0' (which is the default value) to not mask characters.

Note: notice that '\0' is different from '0'. The first one is the null character, white '0' is the character that will be displayed as 0.

How to unmask a password textbox?

You may use the Nothing keyword which will set the default value for the expected type (Char in this case):

Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
    TextBox1.PasswordChar = If(CheckBox1.Checked, Nothing, "*"c)
End Sub

A better way would be to use the UseSystemPasswordChar property instead of PasswordChar. This makes the password mask look "more standard". That's, of course, unless you want to use a custom char. Here's an example:

Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
    TextBox1.UseSystemPasswordChar = Not CheckBox1.Checked
End Sub

Show password in textbox while holding a button

Maybe this? (Don't forget to subscribe to these events)

private void button2_MouseDown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    textBoxPWMain2.UseSystemPasswordChar = false;
}

private void button2_MouseUp(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    textBoxPWMain2.UseSystemPasswordChar = true;
}

Unmask Password to plain text and again mask it upon clicking a checkbox

You can simply use ng-show or ng-if directive for your case.

By the following snippet the input with different type will toggle on the dom.

<input type="password" name="password"
                               ng-model="model.password"
                               placeholder="Please type your password"
                               ng-show="!showPassword">

<input type="text" name="password"
                               ng-model="model.password"
                               ng-show="showPassword">

<input type="checkbox" ng-model="showPassword">

Unmask Password textbox not working

In PowerShell the backslash is not an escape character, so '\0' is a string with a literal backslash followed by the character "0" (ASCII character 48). To get the ASCII character 0 cast the integer value 0 to a char.

$password.PasswordChar = [char]0

Just assigning an integer value 0 would work too:

$password.PasswordChar = 0

Codename One - Mask and Unmask Password Field on iOS

One thing I noticed that is missing there is: repaint() or revalidate().

final TextField password = new TextField("","Pass Word",15,TextField.PASSWORD);
CheckBox maskAndUnmaskCheck = new CheckBox();
maskAndUnmaskCheck.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
        if(maskAndUnmaskCheck.isSelected()){
           password.setConstraint(TextField.ANY); 
        } else {
            password.setConstraint(TextField.PASSWORD);
        }
        if(password.isEditing()) {
            password.stopEditing();
            password.startEditingAsync();
        } else {
            password.getParent().revalidate(); 
        }
    }
});
