I don’t think there’s a block to change that setting. You could have two text inputs (one secure and one non secure) abs change visibility, depending on what the user selects? It’d be kind of a pain, but I think possible.

you can instead set the password text as a variable and then set the text in label as \* symbol and you set the \* symbol as many times the password is long

¿Podrías indicarme por favor como realizar a cabo tu solución? Es que la interfaz Snap-to-Place es algo incómoda para trabajar y ya llevo varias horas pensando en como sobreponer las cajas de texto.
