Fields should never contain bullets as hints. Hints are a bad idea in
general, but bullets as hints aren't even telling you anything. Please
just remove them.

** Changed in: ubuntu-ux
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Description changed:

  minor interrelated issues & probably needs design input
  1) visual inconsistency of the pin text box prompt shows 4 "bullets" implying needing 4 characters, but the passphrase is text box is empty
  2) selecting the pin text box prompt, the "bullets" remain, and don't respond to delete, they don't disappear once typing begins (i would think dissappear on text box selection)
  3) having a "show password" would be nice
+ 
+ ------------
+ Desired resolution: Passcode/password fields should never contain bullets when you haven't entered anything in them.
