Hello Jesse,

I am sorry to hear you've come across this error. 

We've researched this and came up with a fairy simple workaround you can apply in the custom renderer to resolve it. 

First, you would need to set TextEditor for the Password field and override the UpdateEditor method of the custom renderer. Inside this method find the Android EditText control and apply some settings to make it show a password (actually that's the same approach we're using in our code).

The snippet below shows exactly what I mean:

publicI hope this would be of help. Let me know if you experience any issues with the approach. class CustomDataFormRenderer : DataFormRenderer
{
    public CustomDataFormRenderer(Context context) 
        : base(context)
    {
    }

    protected override void UpdateEditor(EntityPropertyEditor editor, IEntityProperty property)
    {
        base.UpdateEditor(editor, property);

        if (property.PropertyName == nameof(ThomasPwdEditor.Portable.User.Password))
        {
            var editText = editor.EditorView.JavaCast<AppCompatEditText>();
            editText.InputType = InputTypes.TextFlagNoSuggestions;
            editText.TransformationMethod = new PasswordTransformationMethod();
        }
    }
}

I hope this would be of help. Let me know if you experience any issues with the approach.

Regards,
Yana
