Title:
  Password visibility toggle stays active during login of next user

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When logging into Ubuntu's main login screen there is a toggle to show
  the password (the little eye on the right side of the password input
  box). If the previous user enabled this when logging in and left this
  in an enabled state, that state will persist. The next user logging
  in, after the previous logged out, will type his or her password and
  it will be plainly visible on screen.

  Consider that:

  - Typing passwords is often routine (a new user might often not notice in 
time his or her password appears unmasked)
  - The state of the eye icon might not be clear by itself
  - Password masking not being enabled by default is not standard, and for good 
reason

  This happens when logging into Ubuntu (Focal Fossa 20.04) on a default
  install.
