Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 Thanks @peterwilsoncc - this is getting closer. I verified the switching
 between plain and password field works as expected. The only issue now is
 that because you are creating a new element entirely, we are losing the
 event handlers on the original element. This breaks things, for example
 the password meter no longer updates as you type.

 I think the simplest solution is to clone create the new element at
 startup, attach the handlers to it as well as the original field, then
 have the swap routine simple show/hide instead of creating new elements
 each call. I can work on this in the next day or two if you don't get to
 it, thanks for your work so far!
