If you're using Gboard, go to Settings>Keyboard>On-screen Keyboard, then tap the word Gboard (not the toggle). Then Preferences, and turn off the toggle for "Popup on keypress."

Which device and keyboard are you using?
I mean you really have people looking at your device while typing in passwords?
Gboard and Samsung.
Yes , they can see password and what i typed for articles.
It is possible.

Because there is not option in setting for dissableing highlight keys.

Because i can see from distance what they type for password, because keys highlight.

If capture movie they can slow motion and find password.

Why all app programmers, desided to remove ability of dissabling highlighting key?

If someone is looking that close at your keyboard while you're typing something, they'll be able to see what letters you're typing regardless of whether the key itself is briefly highlighting. If you're this worried about it, just make sure no one is looking when you type.

Why developers do not insert ability of disabling highlight key?

Because if someone is close enough to see what key was highlighted, then they can see what key you pressed whether it highlights or not. They would also have to be right next you. Just turn your body if you're that close to someone.

Also, it's apparently just not the security issue you think it is.

A little paranoia is healthy but, my goodness, keep it reasonable.

Several years ago, i capture move by mobile phone in a govermental office and say to employee her password / and user when she was far from me about 10 meter and she exsited.
It is not paranoia.
They can insert (disable highlight feedback) with several word in program.
