The dialog for setting the user password

Today I installed Tumbleweed on a new laptop. But somehow I gave in the password for the user twice wrongly in the "Create New User" mask. So when booting into the installed system I couldn't become root, because I don't know the entered ("correct") password.

It would be nice to have a "password reveal button" there. So one could view the password in clear text when clicking this button (eye icon).

That's the reason why you need to do it twice: If you mistype, chances are slim that you mistype the exact same way twice. And if you are unsure if you really typed the password that you wanted to type, simply do it again before sending the dialog off with the "Next" button.
