Well privateImeOptions doesn't seem to work with current version of Android. You could set input type to TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD

HTML

<TextField (loaded)="onLoaded($event)"></TextField>

TS

onLoaded(event) {
    const textField = event.object;
    if (textField.android) {
        setTimeout(() => {
            textField.android.setInputType(android.text.InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);
        }, 500);
    }
}

Note: If you like to avoid timeout, you might want to extend existing textfield to create your own that applies custom input type.
