Title:
Lock/login screen displays password in clear text occasionally
Status in GNOME Shell:

Bug description:
Hello, folks,
Today when I returned to my computer (which I locked with Super+L) and
attempted to unlock it, it displayed my passphrase in cleartext in the
'Password' box. I noticed as soon as I got the first character in,
then typed in the second character and it stayed clear. I then picked
up my phone to record the attached video and while I was fiddling with
it to get a good camera shot, the screen locked (for inactivity
perhaps?) and when I unlocked this time, the password only displayed
as dots (as expected).
So unfortunately, I don't know how to replicate. It _did_ occur
though, as the attached video will show if you go slowly (look for
"hu", the first characters of legendary password "hunter2").
