I think there should be a show password button because sometimes I get my password wrong and I don't know what character I typed wrong. If this can be added, it would be a big help.

what if someone looked at it and logged into your account?

i think he means a show password button as in see what you typed as a password,
so instead of
•••••••
it would be

scratch

and if someone was casually looking at your screen without you being aware then they would see it
although anyone who does that will most likely be your parent or something
but yeah if at a library or something people could see your password

That applies for every website that has that feature, its not that common

and thus those websites have a higher risk of getting hacked than scratch does.

Well, the only thing you're going to do if you “hack” a Scratch account is basically nothing. On the other hand, hacking into someone's Mcdonald's account you can steal all their points on Happy Meals instead of Caramel Frappes and Fun Drinks This is primarily the reason Scratch doesn't get “hacked” as much as other sites with real value.
ST I'm not encouraging people to do bad things. This is just an example.

Yes, it's more useful than it is harmful. You can use devtools in the browser to view the password if someone is bad, and if security was extremely important, the ST might offer some form of 2FA (although most people would just lock themselves out)

Bump

Honestly, there's basically no good reason why this shouldn't be added. Any other site, app, or whatever with a password has this option available. I guess for an extremely specific scenario it would cause some issue. Like, shoulder peeping or whatever. But there's nothing forcing you to press the “show password” toggle in that scenario.

I think that's a pretty good idea.
