This is a pet peeve of mine...

You are using a handheld device; where is the security risk when you are the only one looking at it?

If anything; you should see what you are typing. Its not like you password is any more encrypted than your user name (its only validated with javascript). Or maybe I'm missing that the appearance of security is better than the reality.
