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.
