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 .....

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

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. REVIEW: 123405
Thanks for the research, Burkhard.
