Getting started: Adding a password field

I've been poking around Google, this Q&A section and the Docs, and thus far I haven't had much luck answering (in my mind anyway) a very simple question :)

I'm trying to add a password form field to my app (this could be done with a textField, but I'd prefer to do things the right way if at all possible), and I'm not entirely sure where the docs are for that.

I believe it's possible as I've seen other Titanium apps like Grub.it do this with great finesse.

Here's the code I have currently:

var passwordField = Titanium.UI.createTextField({
    hintText:'enter password',
    height:35,
    top:100,
    left:30,
    width:250,
    borderStyle:Titanium.UI.INPUT_BORDERSTYLE_ROUNDED,
});

Anyone have any ideas or pointers in the right direction?

Thanks very much for your time!

-Chris
