I have no one behind me, around me or near me when I enter the password. And some of them are long and complex for secure sites.
A password manager that fill in the blanks might well be the simplest solution.

Shoulder surfers are like the guys with mirrors on their flip flops at the YMCA mens locker room. They are very real. So while the line of '*'s is a pain, it exists for a real reason. There are even folks out there that try to video you typing on your keyboard! That being said, many (not all) have an "eye" icon next to the box where you enter the password to permit you to see it for that one time when the coast is clear.
