But if they did then this wouldn't be the internet I like your 5 reasons as well, though I disagree about number 4. I don't think unmasked password fields will solve the problem of forgotten passwords. That's caused, in my experience, by too many sites having overly arcane password requirements. Most normal ppolee, I'm sure, re-use the same one or two passwords for large groups of web sites. But then you encounter that site that thinks it must require 12 characters and two special characters or whatever and you have to come up with something different.I think the whole online password situation is a mess, and while Nielsen's recommendation is reasonable, there are bigger problems to solve.

Let's talk about this stuff. 1. My son is 10, when he's olinne he's in a room with me. He uses a laptop and that keeps it easy.2. My daughter is almost 13 she does not use her real name on line, almost none of her friends do.3. There are girls in middle school taking pictures of themselves in bikinis. Although it's sad, no one is surprised by their actions. I'm pretty sure the moms reading your blog have walked through this stuff with their kids.4. Every computer has parental controls, use them.
