The correct solution is to not have the bullets displayed for a TextField in TextInput.Password mode using an inputMask. No placeholders are displayed when echoMode is TextInput.Normal.
See: https://code.launchpad.net/~jonas-drange/ubuntu-system-settings /security-pass-input-fix-1357548/+merge/245980/comments/607924 I don't see any analysis of the work required to have a fix in the SDK, instead jumping straight to a workaround in u-s-s.
