Secure text entry ORKAnswerFormat in ResearchKit


I saw that ORKEmailAnswerFormat was recently added to the master branch of ResearchKit to validate e-mails. It would be nice to have a ORKPasswordAnswerFormat too, with a .setSecureTextEntry property. In the mean time, I've tried to use the taskViewController:stepViewControllerWillAppear: delegate method to access the view hierarchy for an ORKFormStep, but I can't seem to find any UITextField or anything like it in the view hierarchy. How can I access the UITextField for an ORKFormItem with a .textAnswerFormat format such that I can enable secure text entry for that textfield?

Thank you in advance!
