I did some more testing with autologin and tried it in three situations
- after reboot computer, after restart lightdm and after logout:

1, disable (comment out) both, the autologin-user and
autologin-user-timeout features:
  - after reboot/restart: the password is masked
  - after logout: the password is masked

2, enable only autologin-user, but leave commented
autologin-user-timeout (default to 0?)
  - after reboot/restart: cannot see the login screen, due
    immediate login of course
  - after logout: the password is masked

3, enable autologin-user and set the autologin-user-timeout > 0 (10 in
my case):
  - after reboot/restart: the password is visible
  - after logout: the password is masked

Then the clear text password is visible only after computer
start/lightdm restart and with the autologin enabled with timeout > 0.

regards
