Hi,  
I know at this time there is the possibility to hide/show text of an input box only for web project, would be very nice the same for mobile app too .  
Best regards  
Raffaele

Hi @matt_conroy .  
I have a text input with the secure text entry activated, so my text is obscured. I would like a block to deactivate this option to check the value I’m writing .

You could probably do this through blocks. Set the value of the input with secure text equal to one without. Then add a button to toggle the view between the two.

Just a block for that, understood! Appreciate the suggestion! We’ll leave this open as a Feature Request.
