hidden keyfile input has gone

[bits-fritz]

Overview

Hidden input of keyfile path has gone with version 2.7.9
(at least could not find a preference option to get it back)

Steps to Reproduce

1. open keepassxc - open database
2. try to enter path for secret keyfile via keyboard (with hidden chars)
3. only link for file picker appears wich let everyone see the path you select (for example when sharing your desktop at beamer, video conference etc..
4. search preference for altering the behaviour fails

Expected Behavior

joice for either entering the path via keyboard or selecting via file picker should appear as did up to version 2.7.8

Actual Behavior

only file picker possible to enter secret keyfile

Context

This makes it impossible to keep the path of the secret keyfile secret in certain environments.

The name and location of the key file isn't secret and the security of your database should not depend on it. But if you let KeePassXC remember the key file, it'll show up as **** next time if you have the option to mask the path enabled.
