Issue: Toggling secureTextEntry prop works fine in iOS not in Android, in android for the password text field the initial value for secureTextEntry is set to true, it toggles the first time, but i don't see it toggled next time, this issue is seen in real device, it works fine in Android Emulator though, anyone still facing the same issue? RN Version: 0.59.10

it looks like 0.63.3 re-introduced a number of issues around secureTextEntry that were resolved years ago. i'm dealing with a font issue that comes up when secureTextEntry=true

hey @timomeara, i was going through the change log of react native https://github.com/react-native-community/releases/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v0633, i don't see anything related to secureTextEntry prop not working in android or anything similar to this issue.

there are quite a few issues around the secureTextEntry prop, keyboard types and font styles i have not tried toggling the secureTextEntry values, so i can't speak to that... my problem was with placeholder styles not working

the title of this issue appears to be a documented known issue https://reactnative.dev/docs/textinput#known-issues

regardless, the history of TextInput and secureTextEntry is long and sordid

"it won't work..." do you mean toggling the prop value? did you try playing with this? https://reactnative.dev/docs/textinput#keyboardtype visible-password (android only)

upgrade to 61.0 version

I was having this problem too. Tried to reproduce on a Snack, but it seems to be working there.

So I tried to stop using my customized TextInput and replaced with the default one from react-native, without any styling, and it worked. Then I replaced it by my TextInput and... it kept working.

Maybe it has something to do with fontFamily? I tried to reproduce the problem again but wasn't able to.

Btw, my TextInput is just the default one with some styles, default props, animation and text handling in state.

secureTextEntry works if you set autoCapitalize={'none'}.

fantasyado commented 3 years ago

secureTextEntry works if you set autoCapitalize={'none'}.

This works for me. But how can you come up with this fix...

marcosnataqs commented 3 years ago

Nothing works for me yet! Someone have another solution for this problem?

This worked on my code!

I have a sign-up screen with a TextInput for password, and another to confirm the password. They have identical properties. The first TextInput hides the text as expected. The second does not. I have tried a lot of suggestions from this issue, and various StackOverflow issues. None have worked so far. react: 18.2.0 react-native: 0.72.6 expo: 49.0.0

Only fails on Android (works as expected on iOS). Testing on physical device.

timoisalive commented 5 months ago

For me keyboardType="default" worked.

I don't quite understand the difference between the Android only keyboardType="visible-password" and secureTextEntry properties. Wouldn't it be enough to control visibility with the latter only...? 🤷

facebook / react-native

SecureTextEntry prop is not working in android with all the keyboard types. #30148
