UiPath Apps Password Masking workaround do not work

Guys,
I am very well aware of the workaround posted on: How to hide password in the UiPath Apps - Help / Apps - UiPath Community Forum and that feature is not available with Apps, but posted workaround stop working.
Basically, when I assign value of the text field on change to new variable and set the field value to ******* it changes value in both places. Any ideas how to solve this?
