It's not about focus. Basically, while you edit the password, it is displayed. Try opening the dialog again and you will see the existing password is obscured.

IIRC, the theory is that if someone can see your screen they can also see you press keys, so there is no point obscuring the password while editing it, and displaying it makes it easier to avoid mistakes while editing.
