This is a welcome feature (atleast for some of us) who have tried logging into a PC/server and has been kicked out. We were sure that we were typing in the correct password, only to find out later on that either caps or number lock was on.

In Windows 8 (both client and server), you can make the OS display the password you have typed in. This way we can be sure that we won’t be tricked again by the caps or number locks!

All you need is to click & hold the “key” button at the end of the password box.
