It is really annoying that the password value is not rendered, f.ex when in the registration page, some other input is not valid, the user has to re-enter the passwords.
It should be up to the developer to judge wheater to render the password value or not. We developers like freedom and hate to be imposed certain unnecessary limitations. So a boolean parameter should be added to the PasswordField component to allow for the value to be rendered.
