AFAICS the only way we could change this in u-s-s itself would be to remove the input mask (which makes the input field only accept digits in the pin case) which is why the bullets are displayed. That might be okay on a phone since we tell the OSK to display digits only, but it'll mean we don't have input restriction when there's a keyboard.

For a proper fix, I think this has to be changed in the UITK really.

that's an UI toolkit issue, see bug #1357548
