What are you trying to achieve?

Type secret/password using I.appendField() and I.type()

What do you get instead?

      I append field Name Input, *****

I think currently only fillField supports this.

Yes, I agree but It would be better to implement it for the rest of the methods as well which are used to type.
Hence created the ticket.
