Why is this password box on easygui showing the characters before anythings typed?

[robertlugg]

Here is my code, it is supposed to produce a password box for the user to enter their password with hidden characters showing instead of letters. When I run it, the hidden characters are showing even before I've typed anything.

import easygui as eg

message="Enter Password"
title="New User"
fieldNames=["Enter Password"]
fieldVals=eg.passwordbox(message,title,fieldNames)

It turns out, this is just a bit of user error. The default password is shown in asterisks. Everything seems to be OK
