Hi. I’ve recently made a sign in page for my app using TextInput components. I was wondering if there was a way to make the password hidden when we touch the Lock Icon they prepared left to the password input box?  
Thanks.

You could have two text boxes. One on top of the other. Start with the protected text box on top. When the click the eye, switch to an unprotected box, and move the text from the first to the second. Then switch back the same way
