While this can, in theory, be done it would require setting the input buffer to character mode, turning echo off, and manually sending a * for each character entered. Quite a bit of work and added overhead for something that just barely falls into the category of "neat". Also consider that most players probably have clients that automate the login process for them and so they won't ever notice or care.
