Cannot show misspelled wifi password

[florin]

The so-called upgrade to Gnome Shell came with some pretty bad things also for wifi management.

One of the bad things is that one cannot know what introduced in the wifi password text box. There is not "show password" option to actually see what we introduced over there, like in any other OS (Windows, Ubuntu with Unity, Android, etc.).

I have made this comparision video between Unity and Gnome Shell:

Also, it removed some extremely useful things:
- it takes about 3 times longer to connect to Wifi
- you click a lot more times for that
