Most all Username / Password entry boxes only

the Asterisk (*) when one enters the password.
Is there something in SeaMonkey that one can

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.
You darn Betcha ! How about 72 years old and fingers that act like Bananas
inside
boxing gloves !
These young whippersnappers don't understand.

I'm 73 yrs old, and still touch type. Ok, in high school I had to teach myself
typing or else!
I use chicken style as well. I never learned to type properly either
but I do still type fast.
In about 1964 my mother sent me to summer school to take two classes:
One, how to study, the other typing.
I've been thanking her ever since.
I've been banging out about 90-120 WPM or more ever since. Although,
computers have degraded that. I tend to not pay as much attention to it
since spell checkers mediate my errors in most part.
Actually, that might even make me faster since I just hammer it out and,
post-event, spend a few clicks to fix the "oops."
I cannot imagine how current folk exist with the tech today without
knowing how to touch type.
