I guess he means: both cases prompt you for a password.
In the former case, the password characters that you type are replaced
by "."
In the latter case, the password characters are not hidden.

I see this in 24.3, but not in the 24.3.91 pretest, or the current
trunk, so it seems this is already fixed.
