Zsombor, a separate PasswordField component would not fix the bug at
all. On the contrary, it would make the situation even worse. There
would now be two ways of creating a password field rather than one, for
no benefit, making the SDK harder for developers to learn and
understand. And TextInput.Password would *still* do the wrong thing
every time you use an inputMask.

Bug description:
  minor interrelated issues & probably needs design input
  1) visual inconsistency of the pin text box prompt shows 4 "bullets" implying needing 4 characters, but the passphrase is text box is empty
  2) selecting the pin text box prompt, the "bullets" remain, and don't respond to delete, they don't disappear once typing begins (i would think dissappear on text box selection)
  3) having a "show password" would be nice

  ------------
  Desired resolution: Passcode/password fields should never contain bullets when you haven't entered anything in them.
