Thank you for your bug report, that would be a request for upstream and probably in the frontend side. Which destop environment are you using? If GNOME then it's probably a request to have the option in gnome-shell there

Every time (and I do mean literally every time), I end up clicking on the 'Show password' checkbox to make sure that I got it right. I understand the reasoning behind obscuring password fields, but for the vast majority of users, a WiFi password is not a personal secret. It's known to everyone in the same physical location, and obscuring the password is primarily a protection against shoulder surfing. It's usually also long and not easily memorable. I would like to request a user option to always check the 'Show password' box by default, which would initially be set to off (in other words, keeping the current behaviour by default, but allowing opt-in).
