Clear Text 'Password' Field

As part of the system we are designing, we need to store passwords for offline hardware deployed in the field. Each piece of hardware has Model storing their attributes, and everything was going great until it came to storing the password. To log in to make changes to the hardware, you need to type the password into a local SSH terminal, which mean I need to be able to read back the password which is unique and randomly generated for every piece of hardware (I'm encrypting the field before storing it in the database myself, ideally moving that logic into mutators). The problem is when I add a field to the form:

{!! Form::label('password', 'Password:') !!}
{!! Form::text('password', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}

Laravel sees that I have named my field 'password' so automatically 'fixes' my input type from text to password. If I wanted password formatting, I would have specified "Form::password( ... )", but it looks like Laravel is being a little too helpful here. Is there any way to override this automatic input type conversion, or do I need to rename my field? We are using form-model-binding, so renaming the field entails a database change, and a less intuitive field name, both of which are less than ideal.

Thanks!
