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.

The iPhone solution seems to combine worst of both worlds: users
don't get full visual feedback and miscreants can still look over
their shoulders.

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