I hate hidden passwords, it's stupid. I'd notice someone shoulder surfing so I'd prefer if they wheren't starred out by default with starring out as an option if I do have people around.

What about e.g. sharing a screen during a presentation?

  Or cameras you don't know about.

    If I have a camera I don't know about in my home then I have bigger issues than a password field on hacker news no?

      If you never leave your home then you have much bigger issues than a password field.

You're always leaking more information than you think...

I agree. I wish there was an easy way to say "disable password hiding (always/for this session/while I'm in my current network configuration)." I never need passwords hidden in my home. I've been in work environments where I know I'm not doing anything where I'd want passwords hidden. I especially don't want passwords hidden on my phone, where it's easy to make a typo.

There's plugins for most (all?) browsers to not hide password fields
