Yeah, found that out too while trying to make a computer with a useless pass.word screen that hid what was typed which only served the purpose of satisfying a curiosity of mine.

I'm not sure if the buttons work or not, but if they do:

-Make the login field a button and check when it is pressed
-Start reading key presses with :GetMouse()(and disable player controls in case they need to type w,a,s, or d, and use KeyUp so you can pick up 'i' and 'o'
-Update the GUI with those keys

Well, thanks for the help guys :) But for now I just need a number input, I can handle that much. This'll come in handy later though, so thanks!

I've known this for a while and did exactly what Echo did. It works quite well too.

Would it not be easier to make a textbox in a screengui, make it invisible in every way to the user, force focus on it, then get any text typed on the textbox, and have it on the screen?
