I don't understand that question.

I have found that the normal Tedit in lazarus does have a passwordchar property
and so set that to *  
it works!

In the 'Object Inspector' window, the properties tab shows PasswordChar = #0 .
How can we set in runtime to show * ?

youcomponentname.passwordchar := '*'; ^^

I beg your pardon?

I rewrote major parts of in in the past.

It is in the tab "Additional" (at least that is where it used to be (tested with 0.9.31 r29157).

Mind you, TMaskEdit does not yet support UTF-8, it currently only accepts characters in the lower ASCII range (#1..#127).
Any non-lower-ASCII characters in the text will be replaced by a questionmark if you set the text by code.
I am planning to extend it to support UTF-8 in the future.

TBH I don't particularly like it when users dig up *ancient* topics and revive them...
