n the world of the web, lots of sites are popping up requiring users to login. When you need to do so, there's a bit more security than you might realize. What you didn't account for, is that all those username/password combinations a hacker just made off with? Yea, those are the same login's to important stuff, like e-mail, or bank accounts. Yikes!

Websites should stop masking passwords as users type because it does not improve security and makes websites harder to use, according to two of the technology world's leading thinkers.
