I use this password for all my accounts: BingoBongo77. Is it secure?

Edit: oh crap

Don't worry, all I can see is ••••••••••••. The browser builds in technology so that it conveniently shows you your password (BingoBingo77), but all I can see is ••••••••••••. Neat, right?

Hey, waitaminute! How did you know that my password is "BingoBingo77"[1].

[1] It shows as •••••••••••• to every one but me?

[jcranmer]

He just copy-pasted your ••••••••••••'s and it appears to you as BingoBingo77 cause it's your password.
