I'm actually fairly interested in this too. While having the names of my
passwords on display is not a huge deal, it does leak some information in
terms of what sites you've signed up for etc...

If there was a way to hide this information, it would be an improvement IMO.

I do however understand that it moves away from the philosophy of keeping
simple.
