I'd suggest not doing such a desktop-style password field on a handheld pen
computer. First, on a handheld it's hardly necessary to hide the password
from prying eyes. Generally a "security breach" of that kind can be
detected by feeling breathing on the back of your neck. Second, using
Graffiti pen input really requires visual feedback. At least _I_ still
require it. :-)
Here's something odd. The Palm Security app uses an un-masked field to set
the device password, but then prompts you to enter it _twice_ anyway. Huh?
If the password isn't masked, then why do you need to verify it by entering
it twice?
