Write it on the screen a printing mode where anyone can see it? Really?
What could possibly go wrong?
That all depends on where you are. If you're working at home, and can
be sure that either nobody's looking over your shoulder or that anybody
who is isn't interested in stealing your password, that's safe; if
you're doing it at work, in an internet cafe or a hotel lobby, you're
probably more of a trusting soul than I am.
