Can we please get a toggle to show our master password when unlocking?

Options

Look, I get it. We're so used to having asterisks filling in as we type a password, but my master password is a long, 33 character phrase with punctuation, and mixed casing. I probably get it right the first time maybe 20% of the time (I type fast, and sometimes hold that shift key for a split second to long..), and it would be great to get actual visible feedback when I can.

An optional toggle to 'Show Password' that could remain checked would be an absolute life safer for me.

Am I alone here?

    I'm sure you're not alone. The same thing happens to me when I'm in a hurry. But part of using security features like Secure Input to prevent other software from being able to capture a password you enter is that the OS controls the presentation and obscures the characters. I don't think it would be a good idea to give up the security benefit for such a small convenience gain. I find typing more slowly and having security settings so I don't have to unlock every few minutes helps a great deal.
