And in one of the replies:

  "I like the way Windows 8 addressed this problem. They added a button that
  looks like an eye on the right hand side of the password field to show
  the password as you've typed it. That seems like a better compromise than
  briefly showing the password characters."

I think Microsoft just succeeded in teaching Linux something about security practices.
And this is not something to be proud of.
