Yet another example of someone who thinks they have a clue, yet really don't. I would rather support 5k users locking their accounts out due to password mistakes rather than risk just one of them compromising their account by typing a password in during a presentation or similar. Supporting locked out accounts is better than trying to deal with compromised data, especially on an enterprise level. That 100 hours you spent studying the web and security were wasted.

For Websites that don't offer an option to reveal passwords (most) there are <a href="http://www.atmedia.net/KlausRusch/blog/2009/06/disagreeing-with-jakob-nielsen-on.html">simple JavaScript solutions</a>.
