Coding Horror: The Dramatic Password Reveal

Some of the things to be learned from this:<p>the security features you need to use while in a public place are different from what you need when you're at home.<p>password obfuscation in dialog boxes is great when random people are around. not so great when you're at home and don't realize that the number 1 is broken on your keyboard for the first 10 failed login attempts.<p>I like choices like "reveal my password" so that the user can show the password if desired (instead of copying and pasting from a text editor). And I like options like "keep me logged in for a ridiculous amount of time". Nothing more frustrating that being timed out from my bank after every 10 minutes of inactivity.
