How to show password while typing?

Question

Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (there is no such tag, and I have too little reputation here to create it).

On LG L5 when I type password I can see in the edit box the last character I typed. Better something than nothing.

However, with Ace 2 the story is worse -- all I see is sequence of dots, and I have real difficulties to type anything correctly.

Question -- how to show the password while typing?

I do not have your phone model on hand to try, but you can give this link a shot.

Generally, just go to Settings > Security > check Make passwords visible. This is true for my phone (HTC Desire, BCM 4.0.4).

Hope it works for you.

Thanks! In my case it was even worse, it was buried at the bottom, under settings for lock screen ;-) – greenoldman Aug 29 '12 at 17:29
