What is the textbox showing? Infact it is a bad practise to display password on webpage, better go for using email functionality for showing password, so that only intended user can receive & see the password.

Password is never shown back to user even in '*' format!

Passwords are always asked to be entered, never persisted.

If you do, it's a bad design and I for one will never visit such website!
