    Deprecate and ignore gtk-entry-password-hint-timeout
    
    This feature offers a number of benefits related to providing
    feedback to the user when the password is masked. Some experts have
    argued that password masking is harmful. I tend to agree with this
    setting providing a better and more moderate solution. Some agree:

    In order to further lessen the impact I've only enabled the feature
    on the primary display since the likelyhood of a non-primary display
    being visible by others is higher.
