I am sorry if I don't publish my issue on the correct place (I searched a lot before posting here) but I use your excellent library on one of my IoTs and it would be useful if someone could create a new parameter which would not be visible if already stored or when typing the value like on WiFi password. If it is already possible I don't know how to do it. I have searched a lot! (I know you are too busy)

Thank you very much!

Not sure if this is what you are asking...it will make your password field apperar behind asterisks:

WiFiManagerParameter custom_mqtt_password("password", "MQTT Password", mqtt_password, 20, "type=\"password\"");
