View password text as it is typed?

Why does iOS not allow the option for passwords to be displayed as they are typed? Android does this elegantly and securely.


I get the idea that they don’t want to allow passwords to be stolen, but not having the option at all is Apple-mouse-charging-port levels of dumb. Also, it ironically promotes the use of less secure passwords because users will want to avoid mistyping.


Apple will undoubtedly release this as a “feature” three years from now.
