Description

Hi,

When i wanted to implement this library to another new project , i just see that this library was deprecated because the password view has been integrated in the support library, i tested it but i think it's too much complex, we need a layout wrapper and a control inside. This support layout is great when we wan't a material design app with the text going to the top, but in my new project, i need to use a custom design and a custom font and this library is just what i need, i can subclass it to use my custom font. And this library is very easy to implement just replace EditText with it.

So for some uses, this library is very great and easier than the support library, so i think it should not be deprecated.
