katieC: Does this sound like we discussed earlier on 7/22/20? We discussed a few different bugs, I just want to make sure this particular bug is accurate.

Just to clarify a bit katieC, this will simply set the reveal password toggle to be checked upon entering create mode. We would not add any behavior around focus/blur for unmasking/masking in this bug. That is for later consideration -- is that right?
UX Recommendation:
When the user CREATES a new login, the password field is empty (nothing to mask) - show the password as the user types so they can see what they are entering and make edits as needed. (They can click the show/hide eye icon to mask the password should they choose.)
So yes, in create mode, set the reveal password to checked. thanks!

(In reply to katieC from comment #2)

FWIW I wonder if this will be unexpected if someone is creating a new login and another person is within eyesight (e.g. they are going to type their password into the create form and they expect it to be masked like password fields normally are).

The behavior must be the same when editing or creating a login.
The field should be unmasked when user focuses it. They are editing it - forcing to click "Show password", return focus, edit and click "Show password" again to hide is not helpful.
Shoulder surfing is an issue for sure, but in this scenario user focused the password field to edit it, it is expected that they will show password.
