See the following bug reports:
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232050>
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502258>

There are extensions to handle this, but I consider extensions to be
mere temporary solutions.

Bug #232050 requests the option to expose the master password used by
the Password Manager.  The extension to handle this is Show Password On
Input at
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/show-password-on-input/>.
 This requires modifying its embedded install.rdf file for installation
in recent SeaMonkey versions.  It adds a checkbox to the popup dialogue
for entering the master password.  The checkbox must be checked to
expose the master password.  The default is unchecked.

Bug #502258 requests the option to expose login passwords.  The
extension to handle this is Show my Password at
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/show-my-password/>.
This too requires modifying its embedded install.rdf file for
installation in recent SeaMonkey versions.  With this extension,
double-click on the hidden password, double-click again, then
right-click to get a menu that includes "Show password".  Almost any
action by the user will again hide the password.

I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can
be used when autocomplete=off.  See
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433238>.
