This feature (the last character of a password is shown in plaintext for a second) is quite nice for devices where the input method is likely to produce mistakes (aka OSK) in combination of a small screen that can only be seen by the user (phone, tablet).

In pocket desktop however, the fact that your passwords are being shown cleartext on a big, external screen is quite nasty. The TextField component should not use this feature is input is coming from a physical keyboard.
