Ability to show Password

I occasionally get asked by teammates what my connection details are for one of my mongo DBs, but since it has been so long since I set them up, I don't recall. At the same time, they are in Compass, masked as asterisks. Many apps and websites now have that "eye" icon to allow me to see such passwords, and given that it's my desktop, it feels to me as though it's a feature I can legitimately ask for. What's more, Robo 3T has it, which is why I am forced to send such requests to teammates that still use that tool. Thanks.

    In the connection string view, there is a way to do that: if you click "Edit" the connection screen will become editable and the password will be revealed.
