You cannot make the Braille display show your password, far as I know. Your
screen will replace any character typed in a password field with a
symbolic character like a star, a question mark or the like. Reason is, that
noone should be able to stand behind you, reading over your shoulder, and
"steal" your password. A security measure taken in general.
And your Braille display is only mirroring what is on your screen. On that
part, we are just as much left with our memory and knowledge in typing, as
the sighted people.
When comes to your second question, I kind of agree with you, it would have
been really nice. My previous screen reader actually had a feature that came
very close to your request. In Window-Eyes, the closest you come is to
change the line mode. Right off-hand, I am not able to find the setting in
the WE control panel, but sure someone can join in helping my memory. Yet
you might then have to change your Braille line mode when going in and out
of a table view. Maybe an app will automate that? But that might be your
best solution here.

Subject: two questions
Hi,
I have two questions:
1. When I am filling out a form which requires a username and password,
how can I make WindowEyes show the password in braille? I want to be sure
I've entered the password correctly.
2. When I'm reading a pdf file with tables, is there a way to make
WindowEyes read columns horizontally instead of vertically? For example:
headername 1
headername 2
headername 3
Info
Info
Info
headername 1 headername 2 headername 3
Info Info Info
