I really like the concept of allowing the USER to choose whether the password is obscured or not when they enter it. In most cases, I would expect that they would NOT obscure it (how many people register for things in places where they'd need it obscured from prying eyes).

Is that a security issue? Can't you have a radial button to offer a choice of showing or not showing the password, the way (for example) my Mac does when I'm re-entering my network password? Or show the password until the user clicks enter and then have it resolve to asterisks, the way I've seen on some sites?
