Description

Taking the lead from the UK gov recommendations on implementing password reveal option, they say:

When the form is submitted, the password input should automatically change its type to password, if it has not already done so. This is to prevent browsers from remembering it as a previously-provided value and potentially displaying it as an autofill option on non-password inputs.

Source: https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/password-input/#define-the-inputs-type-as-password

Currently, the input type remains as text (plain) when submitting a form that has a revealed password.
