STOP using secure texts for passwords by default

god dammit you guys. phone apps - you're the worst here. no one is ever looking at my phone. and websites, i'm generally the ONLY PERSON LOOKING AT MY SCREEN.

can we please stop this nonsense of showing little dots by default for passwords and making us type complex passwords over and over b/c we can't confirm what we typed?

thanks.

of course, put a checkbox or something to hide it. all is well.

I have people looking over my shoulder all the time. Better to not even show dots. Perhaps if I was just by myself all the time I would have a different opinion.
