Re: Show/hide toggle to reveal masked password

Please explain--whichever way around you want to make such an assertion.
Why? How come?

Just for the sake of argument, I'll take the other side of the
proposition. A user who is not using a screen reader is more likely to
expose their password without realizing it because they'd have to see
the effect on screen and recognize it as anomolous. The screen reader
user, on the other hand, will hear the screen reader's TTS pronounce it,
thus drawing their attention to that fact.

So, I think the blind person is less likely to have such a problem.
