Hi I have a text input box with the type as "password"

however, how can I change the type using events/ allow the user to view the text entered so they can check their password?

If changing the type is not possible, you can replace the textbox with another one, which shows the same password but in clear text. Basically make the first textbox invisible and the second one visible, and set focus to it.

You can change TextInput type, using the action TextInput -> Set attribute. Then set Attribute as "type" and Value as "text". Of course, you can set Value as "password" again in order to toggle password visibility.
