Actually, yes it is.  The vast majority of other software that accepts
passwords for any reason hides the passwords as they are typed, so the
general expectation is that passwords are not displayed on the screen.
Many people look down at the keyboard to type and would not necessarily
look up as they are typing the password.  So, they probably won't know
the password is displayed in the clear on their screen until they are
done.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
