Reakit: Feature request: A "password" field with option to hide and show password input

[julienemo]

🚀 Feature request

A "password" field with option to hide and show password input

Motivation

In a sign in form, a password field is often in need. By default, password is always hidden as little black dots and it would be nice if we could have an option to see the exact input (for example with a little eye icon)

Example

Here is an example from antd

The form looks like this

By default when a password is entered, it is hidden

If we click on the little eye icon on the right, the password is revealed

Possible implementations

On sign in pages

wouldn't mind working on this one

This seems too specific to be a component. Maybe just an example would be enough?

Instead of just password, the option to add a component at the start and end of an input would be good. Seems to common in other ui frameworks.

I think this is closed by #753?
