    $(\'#password\').attr(\'type\', \'text\');

Answer 1

I guess you could use a background-image that contains the word "password" and change it back to an empty background-image on .focus().

.blur() ----> image with "password"

.focus() -----> image with no "password"

You could also do it with some CSS and jQuery. Have a text field show up exactly on top of the password field, hide() is on focus() and focus on the password field...
