I made my own implementation of this by deriving class SecureTextBoxEx from RichTextBox instead of Textbox.
Color of normal letters is not changed, numbers will be red and special chars will be green.

Thanks.

There was a bug in overriding CreateParams and it turned out it isn't required at all since KeePass already takes care of displaying a password char itself.

Updated file attached.

I currently don't want to break compatibility with plugins again just for this, but I'll consider it in the future.

Thanks and best regards,

I would love to see this in KeePass (maybe also via a plugin)
