If your field is of type password it will only display bullets as it is native behavior of the browser. I could change the type of the field back and forth, but I see that as a security issue. If the plugin were to fail somehow, it would expose the content of the field to anyone looking at the screen.

I think someone forked the project and added this feature. I won't add it to the main repo, but feel free to use something else if this doesnt fit your usage
