all passwords aren't scrambled

My passwords aren't scrambled, is this secure?

As of today my email account and any other yahoo account that I'm trying to access, including this one will not scramble my passwords. Usually when I type in my passwords they show up as bullet points.
I've had my email account for at least one year and today, when I type in my password it shows all of the numbers/letters of my password. This doesn't sound very secure to me. What's going on?

Couldn't say why they changed it, but whether or not your password shows as bullets or not has nothing to do with the security of your server. Nothing to worry about, unless someone's looking over your shoulder. :)

On a functional/security level, whether or not your password shows up as bullet points is a purely cosmetic issue.

That almost sounds more like a browser issue than a site issue.

Is this stars?
