Fix #6435 Toggle to use an obfuscated font for passwords inputs

[hmalphettes]

Here is a prototype to enable switching to an obfuscated font when entering secrets.

I uploaded a vault snapshot build of this proof of concept on my fork of Vault if one wants to take it for a ride.

Let me know if we should pursue this idea.

Thanks!

I crafted a font using http://www.glyphrstudio.com/.
Happy to add the source files to this PR if it helps.

Hi @noelledaley ! That is exciting.
I have kept a separate branch up to date if that helps: https://github.com/hmalphettes/vault/tree/x-obfuscated-password-input.
Let me know if there is something else I can do and thanks again for a great product and a great UI.

@hmalphettes Awesome! That branch is helpful, thanks for sharing. Nice work on this, stay tuned!

any joy on moving this forward?

Thank you for the PR. Because of design requirements, we ended up creating our own font and implementing this a little differently, but masked values for certificates and secret values will come out in 1.8. See PR #11284

Hey great! Glad it made it! Cheers, Hugues
