Make Passwords Visible
When enabled, this feature allows you to view the text being entered into a password field as
you type it. Many times, other applications insert an asterisk (*) as you type. This can cause
issues and confusion. What if you mis-typed the password or used the wrong case? When
enabled, you can see your entry. This feature is enabled by default.
