don't auto-show password when creating an account

when creating an account your password is visible in plain text by default
should this really be plain text?
i get it, kids and that
but security???

+1, it should be censored in case the creator is in a populated room (e.g. pc cafe or big school)

ah. i didn't catch the “by default.” however, still no support, since kids need the assistance of plain text imo. if they want the security, they can just uncheck the box.

i get the idea of plain text, but it opens a massive gaping security hole - remember that humans are idiots!
in the security/convenience tradeoff, this is the scenario where security wins
