Why would you want to see actual user password if you can not see it?
If you see a password you can leak it by screwing up in numbers of ways. If you never see a password you just can't leak it.
E.g. Twitter recently discovered that they were storing passwords in plaintext in logs, GitHub had similar issue.

Of course, a hash that you will recive from client should be treated as a normal password including all good practices.
