Passwords showing up as white (or not at all) in IE

Question

For some reason password fields are appearing as blank (or white) characters in IE8 for a site I\'m working on.

Both these screenshots have a long password entered

Answer 1

I had the same issue. I fixed it by adding a hack in my CSS to override the input font from Open Sans to Arial:

.form-horizontal input {
    *background-color: #ffffff !important;
    *color: #464646 !important;
    *font-family: Arial !important;
}

It has to be a character issue with Google Font and IE where the password dots are missing from the font or something like that.
