Comment (by Narthur):

 +1 for obfuscating input unless an "eye" icon or similar is checked.

 Just had a very embarrassing moment installing WordPress while screen
 sharing with a friend. Muscle memory ensured my password was entirely
 outputted in plaintext before I even realized what was happening.

 An "eye" icon with default obfuscation should make everyone happy.
