We would likely end up with some more of these lovely interfaces:

Try using that without a mouse and not going insane/grossly disclosing
your input to anyone paying mild attention to your screen.

As a web developer, if I wanted access to the password, I would then avoid
using the<input type="password"> field, and create my own field that reads
characters (perhaps via onkeyup), and fakes a password field visually.
I also think it's a bad idea to change the behavior of<input
type="password"> because it will break websites that assumed they could read
the value. Perhaps a website checks against a user's past 10 passwords to
see if they are using the same one, via XHR. Or perhaps the entire login
process is XHR. Who knows.
