Description
Checks
- I have read the Wiki, searched the open issues, and still think this is a new feature.
Explain the problem clearly and succinctly:
There is this irritating trend in banks to use masked password. When I have to type 13th character it is a PITA to count them manually.
Describe the solution you'd like:
I propose a display mode aiding this, like:
my secret password
123456789012345678
Whether this would be a different field type (so one can use it only when needed), another "unhide" button or global setting, doesn't matter to me.
Describe alternatives you've considered:
