    We appreciate your report. I was able to reproduce the issue. The password field shows the characters:
    Screenshot_3
    Screenshot_4

    Tested with:

    Browser / Version: Firefox Release 107.0 (64-bit)/ Firefox Nightly 109.0a1 (2022-11-23) (64-bit) /Opera Version 91.0.4516.77
    Operating System: Windows 10 PRO x64

    Notes:

    1. Reproducible regardless of the status of ETP.
    2. Reproducible on the latest build of Firefox Nightly and Release.
    3. Works as expected using Opera.

    Moving this to NeedsDiagnosis for further investigations.

    This is a case of -webkit-text-security.

    They're using this CSS on the input, which is non-standard, but Chrome inherited from WebKit:

    -webkit-text-security: disc;
    

    I've filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1826629 to consider if we should support this for webcompat.

    The standards-compliant way to do this would be for the page to add type="password" to the input field, and honestly it's pretty weird that they aren't doing that. We can probably ship an intervention to change the field's type, but it's unclear whether it's worth the effort.

    Since making an intervention for this is unlikely to be easy, and we're working on a patch in the bugzilla bug, let's close this as a dupe of that bug.

    If all goes well, a fix for this should be in Firefox 114.
