So you guys suggest to have a standalone PasswordInput component just for password inputs? I do not see any reason to do that, it wouldn't bring any value.

On the other hand I checked on desktop at least, that setting echoMode = TextInput.PasswordEchoOnEdit shows the whole password as clear text while editing, not only the last character entered, which I guess it is not the desired way. TextInput documentation [1] states that "TextInput.PasswordEchoOnEdit - Displays characters as they are entered while editing, otherwise identical to TextInput.Password." This to me that only the character entered should be displayed, the rest should be transformed into the passwordCharacter, however the functionailty does not obey that thought. There was a bug opened for this [2] however closed being invalid. I will open a bug to Qt in case the desired functionality is the one I assume.
