-**** TODO Add command to toggle password visibility
-***** cover letter
-Hello Emacs,
-
-On occasion, e.g. when saving .authinfo.gpg, I'd like to briefly peek at
-the password I'm typing.  Entering the password twice is an appreciated
-safeguard, but I know I'm perfectly able to make the same typo twice in
-a row; I'd love for read-passwd to offer a command to toggle the
-password visibility.
-
-(I'm dismissing the "write it in the clear, then cut it and paste it"
-solution, since I don't want to add the kill ring nor my desktop
-environment's clipboard manager to the equation)
-
-I'm attaching a proof-of-concept.  Additional considerations, in no
-particular order:
-
-- For the binding, I wanted something easy to mash quickly, but
-  something more mnemonic might be in order?
-
-- Some applications out there show the password while the keyboard
-  shortcut (or the mouse button) remains pressed, and hide it back as
-  soon as it is released; I like the idea, but I have no idea whether
-  that's feasible with Emacs.
-
-- The (member …) check could be replaced with e.g. (get-char-property
-  (minibuffer-prompt-end) 'display); that's how I implemented it at
-  first.  It would fail to turn hiding off when the user has not entered
-  anything though.
-
-- I don't know how much documentation this new command would warrant:
-
-    - Should it be mentioned in read-passwd's docstring?  C-u isn't now,
-      but it was way back when, before 2012-04-11 "* lisp/subr.el
-      (read-passwd): Use read-string." (088be6fbd2).
-
-    - Should it be mentioned in the manual?  delete-minibuffer-contents
-      is documented of course, but not under "(elisp) Reading a
-      Password".
-
-    - a NEWS entry, maybe?  AFAICT C-u was never announced there.
-
-(On a side-note, which might warrant another bug report, I wonder if
-anything could be done to advertise read-passwd-map bindings more.
-Sure, C-h b shows these bindings, but users have no reason to assume
-that read-passwd has extra bindings in addition to regular minibuffer
-ones, so why would they reach for C-h b?)
-
-Let me know if this sounds like something useful.  If so, and if the
-implementation is acceptable as-is, I'll work on documentation as soon
-as I have a clearer idea of where I should add some (and whether some
-documentation should be added for C-u as well).
-
-Thank you for your time.
