Description
When setting up a new WordPress installation the input field type for password is 'text' instead of 'password'.
This is A) sloppy and B) insecure because when your browser remembers previous data you have entered in this form, other people could easily find out your MySQL password!

To be honest, I'm not sure why this fields isn't set to autocomplete=off.
That said, #3534. There are very legitimate UX reasons for keeping it a text field.
