You're probably talking about some Audit functionality. This can be done from the Database level itself using triggers or you may try to implement it from the application level. There is an article by Hilmar Zonneveld that may get you started.

Well, you would have to design this little form for Login (Modal) (using PasswordChar property of the textbox) and then return status and based on it proceed accordingly.

I was originally going to suggest to use an InputBox, but I don't think it has ability to hide information you type. There are some InputBox replacements in the Downloads section here, which you may take as a starting point, though. I used one by Rick Borup in the past.
