Kendo Loader Issue - Loader Impacting Textbox used for Password does not work as intended

[IT]

Once Kendo loader is shown and hidden, it resets the textbox type from password to text.
Can I get a solution to it. 

As I need the kendoTextBoxPrefixTemplate and cant use the kendoTextBox API inside <input/> to use a [type] variable and 
control the textBox type 

Here is the sample code: 

import { Component, AfterViewInit, OnInit, ViewChild } from'@angular/core';

import {
  LoaderType,
  LoaderThemeColor,
  LoaderSize,
} from '@progress/kendo-angular-indicators';
import { FormControl, FormGroup, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { TextBoxComponent } from '@progress/kendo-angular-inputs';
@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
<div class="login-page--main-container">
  <kendo-card class="login-page--kendo-card" *ngIf="!showLoader">
    <div class="login-page--form-container">
      <form [formGroup]="loginForm" class="login-page--login-form" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
        <div class="login-page--formfield">
          <div class="login-page--formfield-user">
            <kendo-formfield>
              <kendo-textbox
                class="login-page--textbox"
                formControlName="username"
                #username
                required
                placeholder="Username">
                <ng-template kendoTextBoxPrefixTemplate>
                  <img src="assets/content/images/login-images/profile.svg" alt="new" class="login-page--user-img" />
                </ng-template>
              </kendo-textbox>
              <kendo-formerror class="login-page-kendo-form-error">
                Username is required
              </kendo-formerror>
            </kendo-formfield>
          </div>
          <kendo-formfield>
            <kendo-textbox
              #textbox
              placeholder="Password"
              [clearButton]="true"
              class="login-page--textbox"
              formControlName="password">
              <ng-template kendoTextBoxSuffixTemplate>
                <button kendoButton look="clear" (click)="togglePasswordVisibility()"> Eye </button>
              </ng-template>
              <ng-template kendoTextBoxPrefixTemplate>
                <img src="assets/content/images/login-images/password.svg" alt="new" class="login-page--profile-img" />
              </ng-template>
            </kendo-textbox>
            <kendo-formerror class="login-page-kendo-form-error">

Hi,

Thank you for the provided details.

The Kendo TextBox supports built-in type property which can be changed dynamically from 'password' to ' text':

<kendo-textbox  placeholder="Password"  [type]="inputType" ...></kendo-textbox>

 public togglePasswordVisibility(): void {
    this.inputType === 'password'
      ? (this.inputType = 'text')
      : (this.inputType = 'password');
  }

Here is an example:

I hope this helps.
