Bug Description
When changing a PIN code (and perhaps when entering it for the first time), the text fields are pre-populated with 4 dots. I suspect this is planned as a way to indicate that the user should type there (although I question whether that hint is necessary). However, when you do type in that field, the dots stay the same.
Expected behaviour:
- I think the expected behavior is that the field is blank until you type, then dots appear according to the number of characters you type
- (as a fallback, there could lighter "ghost" dots there that get replaced with darker dots as you type but this seems like a less desirable solution to me)
