Using the latest Dialogs library, 4.01.
Using it with PasswordMode = True.
The first input character shows for a short while (and that is what I expect), but subsequent characters
don't show at all. Is this by design or is this a bug?

It should be easy to create any dialog you like with CustomLayoutDialog. It will give you full control over the behavior.
Dialogs library 2017 - Custom dialogs and async methods

I had a look at that, but couldn't see the option to have hidden input, eg for a password.
Also, I prefer a solution without controls, just because I feel I am getting too many panels and
I don't need a sophisticated control.

You can add any view you like to the dialog. The best option is to use a layout file for this.

Not sure that I understand however you should choose whichever solution you find better (there is no such thing as a dialog without controls).

I understand there will be controls somewhere, but with for example the dialogs library I only have code to deal with, no controls added to my layouts.
I suppose with a separate layout file, just for the new control this won't be a problem and will look into that.
