I am using Kubuntu 15.04 .

Under Password/User account -> "At Password Prompt" 

When I selected "show nothing " or "show 3 bullet for .." and logoff /restart my desktop , its still showing the password dots during login.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Under Password/User account -> "At Password Prompt"  select show nothing
2. logoff/restart and login again
3. gotcha! still showing password dots in password prompts(login)

Actual Results:  
paswords dots are visible ,e.g If i have hello as password ..then its shwoing ..... (five dots)

Expected Results:  
It shouldn't show anything like hidden password prompts in terminal/unix passwords

I am pretty sure these options are already removed in Plasma 5.3, but keeping open until someone confirms.

    Remove option to show 3 characters for every keypress in passwords
    
    It doesn't work on QLineEdits, it doesn't work on QtQuick TextFields,
    and it can never work. Given most our main password promptes are QtQuick
    TextFields this is a problem.
    
    Having an option that doesn't work is worse than not having an option,
    so I've removed it.
