Hi to all,

I am writing a custom panel plugin to embed an iframe from an external source.  
Grafana version is 7.0.0.

When configuring the panel, we must enter also a “username” and a “password”,  
since the external resource is protected.

This is not an issue, since the method PanelOptionsEditorBuilder.addTextInput() works great.  
The unique detail is that it could be nice to have a password input type for the “password field”,  
so that instead of displaying the plain password, we could display the usual dots.  
Is there any way to achieve this? I have looked to all addTextInput options,  
but I was not able to find this feature.

Thanks a lot,  
regards.
