Why is my secureTextEntry not working ? Here is my code:
export default function App() {
const { t } = useTranslation();
const [value, setValue] = useState('');
return (
<View style={s.container}>
<Input value='' placeholder='Passwort' style={[InputStyles.normal, s.inputMargin]} />
<Input value={value} onChangeText={(e) => setValue(e)} placeholder='E-Mail' style={InputStyles.normal_icon} icon={<AntDesign name="stepforward" size={24} color="black" />} multiline secureTextEntry={true} keyboardType='default' />
</View>
);
}

Answer
secureTextEntry does not work with multiline. Here is what React Native’s documentation says:
secureTextEntry
If
true, the text input obscures the text entered so that sensitive text like passwords stay secure. The default value isfalse. Does not work withmultiline={true}.
In order to have it working, remove multiline propriety, like so:
export default function App() {
const { t } = useTranslation();
const [value, setValue] = useState('');
return (
<View style={s.container}>
<Input value='' placeholder='Passwort' style={[InputStyles.normal, s.inputMargin]} />
<Input value={value} onChangeText={(e) => setValue(e)} placeholder='E-Mail' style={InputStyles.normal_icon} icon={<AntDesign name="stepforward" size={24} color="black" />} secureTextEntry={true} keyboardType='default' />
</View>
);
}
