   I hate it when websites don't give you the option of seeing what you've   
   typed when you're filling in a field.   
      
   I get that they want to protect people who want to enter important info in   
   the middle of an airport waiting area, but for those who are alone at home   
   or in an office it would be nice to be able to turn off the default and see   
   the minimum 14 character password they are forcing us to create with upper   
   and lower case letters and at least one number and one non-alphanumeric   
   character.   
      
   Yes, there are workarounds, but it would be so much nicer to just have a   
   "see typing" option right there.
