Description

Xiaomi's hyperos has a feature called secure keyboard, which can automatically switch the input method to secure keyboard when the user clicks on the password input box (The password input box mentioned here is that automatically turns into *** when entering characters on a webpage or application), and switch back to a regular input method when the user clicks on the regular input box.

Is it possible for KP2a to have this feature built-in?

Research direction

Start by reviewing how KP2a handles Android password fields and input methods, then define how secure-keyboard selection should respond to password and regular input fields. Done means the switching behavior works consistently in both cases without disrupting normal input.
