Bug Description
I have installed ubuntu 18.04 LTS with all latest updates installed.
When I logoff a session (unity or gnome), I can see for a short time a shell screen that shows my password at the end. I have tried to type dummy stuff at login and I can see the dummy stuff and again my password for a short time.
I would like to keep my password private and the only easy way to erase the history of password is too reboot the PC.
I am not used to report bug for Ubuntu but I this is a security issue.
