Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

gtk has an option to turn on brief display of characters entered into
password fields, in the way that is commonly done on handheld devices.
This is highly useful to users who for whatever reason have trouble
typing password sequences without errors.

You can put

gtk-entry-password-hint-timeout = 600

into ~/.gtkrc-2.0 but there is no UI for this as far as I can see.  It
would be nice if there was a checkbox for it in the keyboard
accessibility control panel.
