Obfuscated password values in WebUI shows if a password contains certain characters

[kafeinnet]

Describe the bug

When a secret value contains some accentuated characters (é, à, è, ...), the obfuscated value in the WebUI shows where those characters are.

To Reproduce

1. Store some accentuated characters in a secret value, like é ou à
2. Look a the obfuscated value

Expected behavior

No hints about the stored value should be displayed (imho, not even the length of the password).

Environment:

Key             Value
---             -----
Seal Type       shamir
Initialized     true
Sealed          false
Total Shares    5
Threshold       3
Version         1.8.4
Storage Type    consul
Cluster Name    xxx
Cluster ID      xxx
HA Enabled      true
HA Cluster      https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8201
HA Mode         active

I confirm. Obfuscation work correct on versions 1.6.7, 1.7.7 but not work in 1.9.1 and 1.8.6

Thanks @evsasha for pointing it out. We have taken both the changes (font discrepancy and length of obfuscated values) in consideration and will hopefully be pushing a fix as soon as it's prioritized. 👍
