While the ability to show the password can be useful at times, the existing implementation is problematic: 1) The use of a switch is wrong (as even noted in a code comment). 2) It is inconsistent with any other password dialog (login screen, polkit). In lack of a properly designed solution (for all password dialogs), the designers agreed to remove the switch for now. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658948
