The usual treatment of passwords and similar secrets on the GUI screen is that the actual secret is not displayed, so a passer-by can't learn it. Often we have talked about the idea that this non-echo should be relaxed when the display is only by private (earphone) audio. What I don't know is whether there is any actual practice making this exception. One place it could show up is in talking ATMs. When there is an earphone plugged into a talking ATM, does the screen go blank? Does the PIN echo in the earphone as you enter it? [experience with a live ATM is most sought] Al
