3) I expect all characters, even those from dead keys, to be hidden
the same ways as other characters
4) When using dead keys to add accents to letters on the password
prompt on the login screen, before the letter the dead key is intended
for is typed, the special characters from the dead keys are displayed
in plain sight, instead of being obscured by dots as other letters and
characters are.
Screenshot attached.
