Description
Feature request
Currently using version 32.0.6 of Nextcloud and 4.6.0 of Guests.
When a guest is invited to a share and is asked to set a new password, the characters are blanked (presumably by the browser?) but there is no option to make them visible.
Since there is no repeat confirmation of the password, it is very easy to make a mistake and become locked out.
An 'eye' in the password box to allow users to see the password while typing (as in the normal login) would fix this.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating the guest password-setting form and compare its password field with the normal login form, which already provides visibility control. Add an eye control that lets invitees reveal the password while typing, and verify that the new-password flow remains usable without requiring confirmation.
