Anthony - Not a definitive answer but in the vast majority of sites I have seen, the security answer is in plain view. I think you're right, that if it were going to be masked, it needs a confirmation. But then the whole process is becoming decidedly painful.
You didn't mention email address and maybe it isn't relevant, but I would definitely ask for a confirmation of that if you haven't already. (Otherwise, a simple mistyping is the end of the story!)
