Great Plugin.

I would argue that password masking is not necessary. Especially on a mobile device.

Wow the Microsoft zealots sure had a little shit fit at the iPhone reference…

Great plugin, great idea (doesn’t really matter who first came up with it).

This is something that has been missing from the desktop world. Its a shame that browsers don’t give USERS the option of enabling this feature.

Nice, but a) every mobile I’ve ever used does this, Apple didn’t invent it. b) It should be for the browser to choose whether to do this, otherwise you risk autocomplete showing previous passwords. there’s semantics associated with the password input type over and above just masking the letters. Still, it will keep Nielsen and his blind followers happy.

Come on, this works on the iPhone because the screen is relatively small. Ofcourse this does not work on 15″+ screens, because you can’t type a password with somebody near you. Why mask it at all, then?
