Suggestion: Show only dots while typing in Master Password

Not sure if this is an iOS function but is there any reason why there is a split second where each character shows up while typing in the Master Password? I was in a crowded area earlier today and had to type in the Password in order to use FaceID the next time. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but seems like someone can easily watch from behind me while characters are popping up. On MacOS, the characters are always dots while I'm providing the password.

    Hey @ziggie216

    This is indeed a function of the operating system itself. My understanding is that the only way to opt out of this function would be to build our own custom password type fields, and in doing so would lose some of the inherent protection provided by iOS. Hopefully in the future it will be possible to opt out of this feature without having to go that route. :)
