Bug Description
When running Unity 8 on my classic desktop I have to enter my password in to, for example, the store login.
If I am entering text using a real keyboard I still see the character displayed in clear as I am typing. I don't think it should do that.
Use-case: I am making a screencast and entering a password. By playing back the video The Baddies would be able to see each character I entered.
