Public bug reported:
My laptop was charging, I left it for like an hour so the screen lock
kicked in. When I tried to unlock it, I found that my typed password was
not masked !!
I expect it to be masked of course. I erased what I typed and typed
other random characters so I can take a picture and share it safely.
