Hmmm. Why not use the JAWS dictionary manager and set the star character to 
speak nothing?

i don't see a big deal here. the stars are still there if you hear the keys 
you
press or not.
i only want the keys i press to be spoken like window eyes does so i don't 
have
to keep typeing my passwords in note pad and copying and pasteing them into 
the
password edit box every time.
the stars are not being replaced with the password i type in. it just speaks
the keys as i press them. nothing else.
i can not concentrate on the keys i press while it is saying the stars and 
not
the keys i press.
if you are working, turn the keys off. if not turn them on in settings.

While it may well be possible that we could add such an option that would 
allow
the true password being typed, it is also very likely that just adding this
option into our software, would cause security minded organizations such as
IRS, SSA, and many other 3 letter organizations, to block those versions 
from
being deployed. It is part of the reason we have a Non-Tandem build of our
software posted also on the web.

Sorry, but this ability to echo Passwords is risky from security standpoint 
and
we will not be adding that one.

Eric
