## FAQ

### Why password should be unmasked?

There will be less mistakes during login if user will see the password while typing.
[Jacob Nilsen about stop masking the password](http://www.nngroup.com/articles/stop-password-masking/)

### Why “remember me” should be enabled by default?

[Has the time come to kill the “Remember me” check box and just assume that people using shared computers will simply logout? – David Heinemeier Hansson from 37signals](http://37signals.com/svn/posts/1920-has-the-time-come-to-kill-the-remember-me)

### Why do I need to increase login interval?

By default WordPress sets login interval to 14 days.
 It is annoying for the users
to enter login credentials every 14 days and setting login interval to 1 year more
usable. If user forgot to logout on public computer it is possible to visit user’s
profile via link: http://site.com/wp-admin/profile.php and click “Log Out of All
Other Sessions” button.

I always hate that masked password not only in WP, but in all softwares and sites
around the world. And all this time I think that advantages of this black-dots system
is less than disadvantages. One time I even self-banned myself for 48-hours from
logging into site, because I am typing password into different keysheets (not in
latin-letters, but cyrilic). If only I have a choice TO SEE what exactly I am typing
on, not guessing – that would be awesome. And now, thanks to this plugin, logging
in WP-dashboard will be a little better and easier. Thanks, developer! =)
