Show password instead of dots in Mac startup login

I'm at home on my iMac, High Sierra still. No one is ever around. I don't need the password that I type in to be hidden on the login screen upon startup or wake-up. Is there a way to set it to show the characters for the password as I type them in instead of the dots? I'm skilled enough to use Terminal or whatever. I've seen solutions for web browsers, but not the computer's actual startup screen. Actually, this hidden password industry standard is a big pet peeve of mine. ;-) Thank you, Gary
