Wt

In an effort to support more native types (see #7894), we already introduces a couple entries, and are working on some more.

One such widget would be WPasswordEdit. This will essentially be the same as a WLineEdit in EchoMode::Password. However, this is somewhat forced into the WLineEdit interface. It would be cleaner to extract this.
The setEchoMode would become deprecated.

This widget will already be able to both work in the existing framework as it is, as well as offer a native variant.
The native variant offloads some functionality onto the browser. See a list of potentially viable attributes: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/password.
Some attributes to consider are:

• inputmode
• minlength
• maxlength
• pattern
• required
• autocomplete
