password shows in clear text even when hiding

[thymaro]

Describe the issue

On the login screen of q field the user password is shown in full or in part when showing the password with the button to the right of the password input field.

Reproduction steps

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open QField without having logged in
2. Go to the login screen
3. Input username then input password
4. Tab on the eye icon to show the password
5. Tap on the eye icon again to hide the password

Expected behavior

The password should be hidden after tapping the eye icon to hide the password.

Observed behavior

When there is white space in the password the last part of the password is shown in plain text instead of dot symbols. This seems to be linked to the autocorrect function of the mobile device, as it only happens when a keyboard app is active and the cursor focus is at the end of a word.

@thymaro , could you try the APKs in PR #3420 , I am (somewhat :wink:) confident it'll improve the situation for you.
