Description

Description

I made a french mobile app = keyboard language : Azerty. In my register page, i got 3 entries where the last 2 entries got IsPassword property set to True. When the user is in the first entry, could be anything (Email entry for instance), the keyboard is in Azerty configuration (OK). But when i switch to another entry ( with IsPassword set to True), the keyboard configuration change to Qwerty ! (KO).

Steps to Reproduce

1- Create new project. In a page, put 3 entries :

  • Entry 1 : Could be anything (No IsPassword property)
  • Entry 2 : Password (IsPassword = true)
  • Entry 3 : Confirm Password (IsPassword = true)

Expected Behavior

Keyboard language should stay on Azerty.

Actual Behavior

Keyboard switch to qwerty

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Xamarin.Forms.iOS handles the IsPassword property and its effect on keyboard type settings, particularly the keyboard language/layout. Look at the EntryRenderer and SecureTextFieldEntryRenderer in Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS.
