Text fields in UIAlertViewController with rounded rect border style. (Swift)

Question

I have no problem adding text fields to an UIAlertController but I find these text fields to be hideous. Does anyone know how to make them more appealing?

My code to add a text field:

let pincodeAlert:UIAlertController = UIAlertController(title: alertTitle, message: "Enter your passcode", preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
pincodeAlert.addTextFieldWithConfigurationHandler({ (pinCodeTextField:UITextField!) -> Void in
            pinCodeTextField.placeholder = "Password"
            pinCodeTextField.secureTextEntry = true
pincodeAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Cancel, handler: nil}))
pincodeAlert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: { (action) -> Void in
            //do some other stuff here...
        }))
presentViewController(pincodeAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)

My current alert view's text fields are very square and that does't look to well.

I guess its a bug in the sdk. Maybe you can create a custom alert view? — rakeshbs, Jan 09 '15 at 16:43
Did you ever get this figured out? I'm facing a similar issue. — Shawn H., Jan 28 '15 at 03:54

Set your alertViewStyle.

alert.alertViewStyle = UIAlertViewStyle.LoginAndPasswordInput

You need to set the border style on the pin code field;

            pinCodeTextField.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect
            pinCodeTextField.placeholder = "Password"
            pinCodeTextField.secureTextEntry = true

I also had an issue with a black border, if you have the same take a look at this answer;
