Add way to see SYSDBA password in Installers

Yellow,

If you manage to typo your password the same way twice, it becomes quite the PITA to figure out what actually went wrong.

Maybe we need a checkbox to hide/show passwords?

Honestly, I'd go as far as showing the password by default. And if someone’s installing a server in a place where evil eyes are lurking, they’d probably either check the checkbox—or, more likely, just turn the laptop around like a sneaky little ninja to hide the installer anyway.

I mean, how many of us are setting up servers in super public spaces where someone’s actually gonna see your password in the first place?

Anyway, being able to see the password when you feel like it would definitely help. At least it would help me...

It looks as if the functionality is available in InnoSetup. I'll add it when I get a moment.
