Hello translators,

I would like to request a string freeze exception for the following MR:

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/libplasma/-/merge_requests/1583

Unlike the corresponding Kirigami component, libplasma's password field 
currently
does not set a text for the button you can use to show/hide the 
password. This
means that screen reader users will only hear the word "button", but not 
what the
button does. The MR adds the text "Show Password" and "Hide Password" to
the button (which remains icon-only, so the text will only be present in 
screen readers
and as a tooltip).

PasswordField is used e.g. for unlocking the session, and I think it's 
important that
screen reader users can operate this without having to guess what 
buttons do based
on no information.

Thank you for your hard work!
Christoph
