Summary:
As a commuter I use tethering in public places and wish to keep my tethering password private. 

If I need to turn it on or off I am on a screen clearly showing my password in plain text to anyone who is sat next to me or behind me on the train.

I would like the password to be hidden with a button "tap to reveal tethering password" for those times when I actually need to see it.

Steps to Reproduce:
Go to settings > Personal hotspot 


Expected Results:
Password should be hidden until requested

Actual Results:
Screen shows wi-fi password in plain, easily legible text.

Version:
iOS 9.3.1
