The way masking is done in iPhone originates from the days a phone had a numerical keyboard where you had to press the [9] key four times to get a 'Z'. In that scenario visual feedback was essential.

You might consider a 'Show password' checkbox as Jeff suggests, or follow Jakob's advise and offer a 'Hide password' option. - Yohan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
