I agree. On mobile devices and especially in public situations where a person who is blind might have their password stolen it is very important to have the password hidden by default.

Jonathan ... Not trying to argue, but why? What is your reasoning ???

Do you really think someone will be looking over someone's shoulder to steal a password, without being caught ... even with a blind individual, who is probably more aware of their near surroundings then sited people.

Again, not trying to be argumentative, just looking for your reasoning on it :-)
