Re: dd requirement / control to "show password" for end-users? Responce to wcag issue 1912

+1 with suggested edits to the response:

On the COGA task force call, we felt that adding a requirement for a
control to "show password" for end users is important and will be helpful.
This wording, however, does not necessarily mean that it will be enough
support. Care should be taken that the icon or other affordance (typically
represented with an eyeball icon) is not hidden to the user, even if using
a password manager.

Also: I would be happy to help write or propose exact language if WCAG is
amenable to adding this.
