When to use

  • Any password / passphrase / secret-token field.
  • The toggle is on by default — users who need it can reveal their typing.

When not to use

  • Non-secret single-line input → use `TextInput`.
  • API-key fields where revealing is destructive (e.g. masked-after-creation) — use `TextInput` and a separate copy affordance.
