Android keyboards do not recognize Password fields as secure passwords #138

I encountered this while attempting to create a working login page for my company's mobile app. I was told to report it as a bug on python-for-android.

Using a TextInput widget with password=True, the text shows up with the '*' character as expected, but keyboards such as Swype and Swiftkey act as if the field were a normal text field. This has the unfortunate consequence of the keyboards "remembering" these passwords in their dictionaries as if they were actual words.

This has the potential to be insecure, and is not acceptable for use in login forms for Android devices.
