At least when setting or changing passwords, I would like an option to display them in clear text.
Slightly on-topic: I find it silly for a shopping website to display your complete credit card information in plain letters on screen, while masking your login password. The credit card info can be misused to empty your bank account, while the login password can be misused to ... what? Send obscene support requests and muck about with your digital shopping cart?

That, and if your credit card is stored on their servers, which your statement implies, it'd be easy for me to buy stuff on behalf of you. Right now, I'm buying you a new 72 inch Plasma screen which you can't afford. Have fun returning it! Of course, I could send that plasma to myself, but it'd be stupid of me to do so, since I'd be giving away my where abouts.
- Deestan 17y ago> if your credit card is stored on their servers, which your statement implies No, I did not intend to imply that. The places where I do most my shopping, I have to (or prefer to, in the case of Amazon) enter credit card information on a per-purchase basis.
- apgwoz 17y agoI considered for a moment the possibility that you were referring to entering your credit card numbers without masking, and probably should have deduced that given the context.
