Would it be posible to show typed value for x time before obscuring text?

[nombrekeff]

Hey there!

I was wondering if it would be possible to show the typed value for some amount of time before obscuring it? Similar to how regular TextFields handle obscured text.

Current behavior:

1. PinPut with obscureText = '*'
2. user types character
3. character is obscured

Requested behavior:

1. PinPut with obscureText = '*'
2. user types a character
3. character is shown for 1s
4. Then it obscures itself

I think this could be a really good feature to have, maybe opt-in. This way the user can see if an incorrect character has been entered.

I wouldn't mind filing a PR if the feature is accepted, just let me know!

Cheers

Has this been implemented yet?

That functionality provided by TextFormField not by EditableText.

Yup, that's the case. Any idea on how we could implement this without much work? Or is it even possible with the current implementation? Could we change EditableText to TextFormField or TextField?
