 It's become quite common for web services to display a `Show` button next
 to password fields when the user is using a mobile device. Several mobile
 apps do this too. The intent is to help the user ensure the password
 they've entered is correct when using the onscreen keyboard.

 One example is on https://m.facebook.com (the `Show` button actually
 appears on any device when using that site). The `Show` button simply
 toggles the input type between `password` and `text`.

 WordPress should add this functionality to the login screen, the user
 profile screen, and anywhere else where a password gets entered. This
 functionality already exists when adding a new user, if the user first
 clicks the `Show password` button.
