There is nothing quite like seeing your password in plain text published somewhere for the world (or some subset of the world) to see.
Seeing an obscured version doesn’t have quite the same effect as the raw plain text.
Nothing quite like seeing a failed login attempt for username ‘yourpassword’ emailed to the entire IT team to make you think about changing your password from your ex’s name to something distinctly less personally identifiable.

- solidasparagus 7y agoThe chances of you watching this website while your credentials unintentionally show up are essentially zero. This website is a tool for watching other peoples' secrets.

If I was going to be watching other peoples' secrets for fun and profit (and not just for fun), I wouldn't be using the human-friendly version.
