Input Mask; password

When we use the input mask; password option in a text box in access. Why is
it that it forces the * for all characters typed.
(ie - I type Melissa and input mask forces *******.)
We can not validate a password on forced *'s - we need it to store the
actual typed in character in a table for validation purposes.

What do we need to do differently?
Thanks!
 
The password is recorded within the table with the correct value, it is just
that when you "view" it it shows "*"'s on display. You can get the actual
value via VBA if yo need to
