I don't believe this is a duplicate of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1772791 as this is specifically about
using dead keys when typing in a password. At no time does the entire
password display in clear text. Only the accents of dead keys are shown,
but as the intended letter is then pressed, the completed letter with
accent is hidden.

Title:
Characters from dead keys shown in plan view in password field on
login screen
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:

3) I expect all characters, even those from dead keys, to be hidden
the same ways as other characters
4) When using dead keys to add accents to letters on the password
prompt on the login screen, before the letter the dead key is intended
for is typed, the special characters from the dead keys are displayed
in plain sight, instead of being obscured by dots as other letters and
characters are.
Screenshot attached.
