[Feature Request]: PasswordInput property doesn't exist in TextInput type

[martinscooper]

The problem

Using Carbon in a Typescript nextjs project, I am using the PasswordInput component and the tsc throws this error:

Type error: Property 'PasswordInput' does not exist on type 'ForwardRefExoticComponent<TextInputProps & RefAttributes<unknown>>'.

I am using the code from here:

<TextInput.PasswordInput id="text-input-1" labelText="Text input label" helperText="Optional help text" autoComplete="true" />

The solution

The PasswordInput should be added to the TextInput types or made available separately. I would like to be able to perform the following import statement:

import { PasswordInput } from '@carbon/react'

The console shows the following warning when using PasswordInput by accesing it through TextInput:

Warning: The PasswordInput field has been deprecated on the TextInput object. Please import and use PasswordInput directly.

But when I import it directly from @carbon/react the ts compiler shows the following error:

Module '"@carbon/react"' has no exported member 'PasswordInput'

Hey @martinscooper
Are you still experiencing the error? I just imported the component in .tsx file and it is working fine with no errors in the console or code.
Can you open a StackBlitz if you are still having the issue, please?

@guidari Thanks for taking a look and sorry for my delayed response. We actually chose to not to use that component. The main reason of this was that we couldn't find a way to stop the browser from asking the user to remember the password.
