Using Visible Passwords
When enabled, this feature allows you to view the text
being entered into a password field as you type it. So
many times there are other applications that insert an
asterisk (*) as you type. This can be confusing and can
cause issues. What if you mistyped the password or
used the wrong case? When enabled, you can see
what you are entering. This feature is enabled by
default.
Tip:
You can also enable or disable tactile feedback
(vibration) for the unlock pattern with the
Use tactile
feedback
option.
Note: The Unlock Pattern applies if the
Require Pattern
setting is enabled.
