In fact, you may need quite some training to be able to grasp someone's
password from his typing, depending on his speed. You can expect it to
be far harder than taking a look at a fixed position on the screen, so
that's definitely worth a protection, IMO.

At least, masking data typed whenever it could be a password should be
the default behaviour.

Conservatively,
Pierre
