When the user enters a new password, it overwrites the asterisks (I'll change them to bullets), and the user can see what he/she is writing. I never understood why people can't see what they are typing in. When the user subsequently moves to a new field or record, the password field is then hidden.
Ah. Problem with that approach (which is different from how I first understood it) is that someone can shoulder-surf your password, e.g. if you're on a train with your MacBook, or at a cafe.
