hidden password in a publicated report

Good

I have managed to include in my report user filters and password, and thus, have to identify themselves before accessing the information.

Would you know how to get asterisks or other symbols to appear when the characters are typed in the password option and thus hide what is being typed?

Thank you!!

@rocesp , where are they entering data in Power BI?

Are you looking for masking -https://radacad.com/secure-the-sensitive-data-in-power-bi-data-masking-better-with-row-level-securit...

Thank in advance for your answer!This is the appearance of the login and password filter. So, I would like be capable of when the users write their password, symbols appear instead of numbers.

You should consider using Row Level Security instead of this parameterized user/password approach.  Or you can make a template file from Power BI Desktop, so that your users will get prompted to enter their credentials with the native interface when they try to refresh.  I wrote a post about this if you want more information - https://hoosierbi.com/2019/04/07/template-files-are-an-under-sung-feature/
