Password visibility

[mg1881]

Please add a setting to allow changing the default visibility of the passwords in the logins and passwords page.  I understand why having to use the "show" button is a good idea on computers in public places.  I rarely use mine outside my home, so having this option would speed up my work - especially when cleaning up or changing passwords.

I would put this setting prominently on the logins and passwords page, so one could easily find it when going to a public place.

Hi,

I got the request. I have searched a lot of information about this matter without finding a good solution.

Imagine a production environment where there exists a system administrator that has created and installed the accounts on Thunderbird.

To avoid these accounts to be used from other locations or purposses we can not hide this information, what implies a serious security problem.

Thanks for your help and suuport.

Best Regards
