Question

How to make that?

Answer 1

It's web client-specific, you can try to enforce it so that it looks the same in every browser, but no 100% guarantee. Take a look at this SO thread:

Answer 2

Another way to do it is to write custom password input with no <input> element but <div> ( or any other one ), handling yourself output and storing characterd typed by user on a virtual keyboard, with the advantage of avoiding eventual key logger hack...

Example of such implementation easily adaptable:
