Description
Currently, the PasswordField is not able to show the 'eye' icon to reveal the password. Vaadin 14 has the concept of suffix component via which it's easy to add such an icon. Vaadin 8 doesn't have to have such a concept - the eye icon can be hard-coded.
See https://vaadin.com/forum/thread/17124295/passwordfield-with-eye-icon for more details.
To make sure we can quickly validate and fix the bug, please provide as much as possible of the following information:
- Vaadin Framework version: 8.12.0
