Possible way to see password as being typed on macOS and iOS? Apple defaults are set not to show passwords as typed. Designed for coffee shop sign-ins and adolescents, I assume. Some website allow option to Show Password, but otherwise Apple default is not to show. Particularly hard for me on iPhone. I see the letter I typed for a second or 2 if I remember to look up from keyboard to password. Moments later, just see the ubiquitous dots. I'm old. I make mistakes typing. On text I get to see what I typed and correct. Only on passwords do I have to hit Enter, to find if made mistake, and usually must reenter both email and password. I don’t have anyone reading over my shoulder. I don't need or want to hide the passwords from myself. I'm afraid I know the answer, but is there any way to change default on macOS and iOS from Hide to Show? Thanks.

Password layout How do I change my password layout back to the big bubbles (like your about to dial a phone number) vs. the little bar? I don’t know how mine changed like this but I hate it! Also, when I try and press password options, there is no 6 digit option, only the letter option. Help!

It never shows unless you have kept "show" password option ON just below the password.
