About Password Masking
from our crawl and measurement
"Results of an academic study investigating how removing password masking impacts on customer trust." That is how Password Masking introduces itself. When AI engines look at it, they find little to work with. It scores 4.7 out of 10.
The site gets some of it right: it has a readable heading structure. What holds it back is what is absent, including structured data describing the business, an llms.txt file, a sitemap.

What this score means
Your AEO score measures whether AI search engines - ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini - can actually read your site and cite it in answers. Roughly two-thirds of sites are invisible to them. At 4.7/10, Password Masking is crawlable but under-signaled - fixable, and the signals above are where to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is password masking?
Password masking is a very common web design pattern. It involves a text field which accepts any character however doesn’t show the inputted character to the user. Instead it shows a bullet point. This concept is being utilised across the web in the aid of increasing security. You’ll find examples of it on pretty much any site which requires a user to login.
But does it matter that they weren’t expecting it?
There was a mixed result. Some indicated that it made no difference to their trust, whilst others said it made them suspicious of the site.
What was the impact on trust?
Instead of thinking there was an error with the site participants viewed the clear text password as a feature. The presence of the tick box reassured them that the change in convention was by design. It also offered the ability to turn masking on and return to a convention they felt comfortable with. "The fact that it is there gives me the chance to check what I have typed.
