I believe that this is a major security risk and that this is a new UI change going forward and this is not a bug.
Do you think this is a good idea?
No. I think it's a bug, and a bug should be filed on it.

Saving passwords in clear text, it makes certain operations easier, but makes numerous illicit operations more easy.
Just to avoid any confusion - this is about *displaying* passwords as they are typed (or masking them). It is not about how they are stored, there is no change in that regard (we hash and salt them up the wazoo). The rest of your message shows that you actually understand this, I just didn't want anyone to read 'saving passwords in clear text' and get worried :)
