Answer 1

The password icon (or eye-icon) use be removed with the method setPasswordVisibilityToggleEnabled or with app:passwordToggleEnabled through XML.

For more information see support library revisions.

Example:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    android:id="@+id/new_password_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:errorEnabled="true"
    app:passwordToggleEnabled="false">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/password_edit"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="@string/new_password"
        android:imeOptions="actionNext"
        android:inputType="textPassword"
        android:singleLine="true"/>

</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
