Most all Username / Password entry boxes only show

This is a bad phishing attempt.

No, Doctor Bill is a long time, very occasional, poster hereabouts, from
I think, regional (i.e. about 60-90 miles from a large City) U.S. of A.
Hmm, be that as it may. Whenever I see these kinds of message , it
always sends up a social engineering attack flag. There's no practical
reason to want to know how to unhide a hidden password field other
than to clear-text pass the password into some hidden service or some
other nefarious purpose. Just my 2 cents.

No practical reason????????

What about seeing what one is typing when entering complex passwords?

Think especially about these situations:  a lousy keyboard, like most laptops; 
working in a dark area; using a touchscreen; people with dyslexia, or poor 
typing skills; the visually impaired; or those having several hundred passwords 
for different sites.
