Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Make a password with a length of 23 characters. It might be less I haven't tried. Save password on a new website. 2. Go into password manager show the details of the saved password. Click the eye button and enter your computers administrator password 3. The password stays as asterisks What is the expected behavior? Normally after entering your administrator password the password for that website is shown is shown in plain text. It works for all my other passwords just not with a long one with a length of 23 characters. What went wrong? I am assuming this is a ui issue where a password over a certain length, 23 characters in my case, wont fit into the the ui space and the ui wont convert the asterisks to plain text. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 59.0.3071.115 Channel: stable OS Version: OS X 10.11.1 Flash Version: Obviously this is not a major bug, just don't forget your passwords.

So it seems I am having trouble reproducing the password glitch. I made a new password of 23 characters and it will show the new one but my old password will still not show see attached screen shot. You can see the eye button has the grey circle around it indicating it is selected.

I am guessing this was fixed in a previous patch. It seems I just need to re-save all of my passwords to fix this. Thanks
