Password entered on my iPhone not getting masked.

Whenever I try to create a password for the first time or change my password, the screen does not hide it. There is a yellow bar over the password field revealing the password. This happens even with the eye symbol with a line across it indicating the password is hidden. This issue happens across all my devices even after a clean reinstall!

Was experiencing the same issue. Was able to fix it by going into the Passwords app settings and turning off ‘Suggest Strong Passwords’. Fine with me since I don’t use that feature. Still such a serious security flaw since that is the default behavior and clearly a bug not even fixed in 18.3
