Re: Stop Password Masking
I could see this maybe being an option for the home users, where the chance (and consequences) of shoulder-surfing are generally far less. I doubt any corporate IT departments would approve though. (PHBs may override, of course, as they often do.)
And I'll definitely echo Kilroy  's sentiment about password entry on a phone. Even with a full keyboard, typos are more likely on a phone. And on the subject of typos, PC, phone, or whatever, with a masked field, if you fat-finger something or even think you fat-fingered, you have to start all over, which with a long password can get fairly annoying.
