Silent pw entry not working

[mnrvovrfc]

I never understood the sense of a silent/hidden (or what ever you wanna call) input field.

Never use Linux for anything!

Also whoever is mentally sick, because he/she "must" have a crowd while he/she uses a laptop which booted a portable Linux system, and must use "sudo" or become "root" user for any reason. Then complains he/she lost data and the only thing expected forgotten were the cookies loaded by a web browser.

An input field that remains the same blinking the cursor in the same exact place, instead of putting dumb asterisks or dots as placeholders, unnerves more a person who really, really wants to break into a place forbidden to him/her. But what do I know. I hate online places that force me to use more than ten characters for password and the widest range of low-bit ASCII characters that I shouldn't trust them to support.
