 Excellent point. I'm all for simplicity. "Complicating things is easy,

 After further research and your valuable feedback, yeah, let's scrap my
 recommendation. Since Team WordPress introduced the password visibility
 functionality into the login form, I would still like to recommend that
 Team WordPress develop and publish a filter that will allow its removal.
 In this case, I feel using a plugin is a band-aid solution. It's a lot
 easier (and simpler), to say, offer a /wp-config.php constant that could
 look like this:


 {{{
 define('WP_PASSWORD_BUTTON_DISPLAY', false);
 }}}

 Fair?

 Thank you!
