But you can see your password if you paste it into a non password field? So you really could know it if you wanted to. I still see the benefit I guess because of the reasons you mentions.

Yes, if I wanted to know what my password is then I could paste it into Notepad and write it down on a piece of paper. I just choose not to.

But even if you're typing your password in, malware could just log your keys. If malware is on your box, the game is over.
