IE >= 10 implement a ::-ms-reveal pseudo element on password fields that allow users to temporarily show the password they typed. The behavior is to only show the password in clear text while the user is pressing the "show" button, as soon as the user unpresses the button the password is re-hidden. This is especially useful on mobile devices where it can be difficult to correctly type a long password.

The field can be styled using CSS.
