That's generally something set by the website or program you're using.
I don't really see a good reason for this anyway. If you're worried about making typing mistakes, open Notepad (Press Windows-R, type in 'notepad', hit enter) and type it there, then copy and paste it to where you need it. It will become stars when you paste it, but you'll know it's right.

If you are talking about in an html form that you are writing then just change the tag. If you want to reveal what you are typing, trying searching the web for Password Reveal program. There are several out there that will show the text "behind" the stars.

The stars (asterisks) are designed to hide your password from people who might we watching behind your back, why would you want to see them? There are programs that reveal the password but only after you have typed them in. Just make sure you remember your passwords or if you write them down put them in a secure place.If you need a password revealer program use the link supplied below. Good luck!

Yes, but why would you want to. And it also depends on which program you are refering to and so on. Just leave the stars there, it is for protection of silly people who would type their passwords in where others could see them and steal the account or whatever.
