TextObfuscationMode

Defines how the text will be obscured in secure text fields.

Text obscuring refers to replacing the original text content with a mask via various methods. It is most common in password fields.

The default behavior for typing input on Desktop has always been to keep it completely hidden. However, on mobile devices, the default behavior is to briefly reveal the last typed character for a short period or until another character is typed. This helps the user to follow the text input while also protecting their privacy by not revealing too much information to others.
