If they are just blatantly retoggling the field, that’s not a dark pattern. But if they are toggling based on a lower toggles “nevermind I didn’t mean the above toggle” or similar, then yeah.

That said, I don’t even know what to call the former.

Edit: The downvotes are a weird reaction to me pointing out this potentially isn’t as benign as dark pattern bullshit.
