Shouldn't there be a checkbox for "show password"? This would be
unchecked by default, but may be checked if you've enabled it in the
past. Anyway, this works properly for me; the password is shown as dots.

Title:
NetworkManager shows plaintext password in network-reconnect dialog
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When there is network disconnection, network manager pops up the
window with "Authentication required by wireless network". In this way
it also shows the network password. Is this correct behavior to show
password?
