> password fields without a way to reveal password
As somebody who has fallen victim to being spied on over an invisible vnc daemon, I hate all password boxes that let you reveal password to be visible. Its like the entire web has forgotten that hackers can easily just sit and watch your screen remotely until you enter a password then BOOM as soon as you reveal the password to check its correct you're compromised.

- alt227 4y agoFair point, but IMO passwords are meant to be secret and never revealed. Its a shame revealable password fields became the norm instead of using password managers, which still seems to be quite niche among the non techie world.
