Bug Description
Hey
When entering my WPA passphrase in the snap dialog, I can't opt to see the password I'm typing which makes it frustrating for long passwords.
Cheers,

Yea, I just noticed this as well. This used to be available and looks like it was recently removed.
The passphrase on my home network is 27 characters, which is an exercise in frustration on a touch keyboard without a "show password" option.
