[REQ] Add an option to show the password while entering it before archiving #1104

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Keka has a 'Repeat' password field, but there is no option to temporarily view the password that you have entered. Sometimes, passwords can be very long and complicated. So, providing a temporary visual confirmation, that the password used to secure the archive is what the user desired, might be a good idea.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a 'Show password' checkbox like in the example below.

The checkbox can be added in the screen shown in the first screenshot.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There is no alternative that I think of for this scenario.

Additional context

When typing long, complicated passwords with uppercase and lowercase characters, I find that I make the exact same mistake multiple times while typing the password quickly. Therefore, having just a repeat password field will not make it foolproof enough for people like me.

Thanks. Can't believe I missed the original feature request while searching if it was already asked for.
