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!

Hello GeeZ06, thanks for your reply. Passwords autofill feature (when enabled) adds a yellow highlight to password fields and forces the password to be visible in plain text, even when the 'hide password' eye symbol is crossed out. When I disable autofill, passwords work normally - showing as dots and only revealing when clicking the eye symbol. I don’t recall it as being a normal behaviour. In the past new created passwords were always hidden by dots even when autofill was on. Would you agree?
