Maybe some site-wide config file?

Does `-q` make a difference compared to `-Q` (or does `--no-site-file`
make a difference)?

`push-button` is not the command that we expect here.  It should be
`read-passwd-toggle-visibility` instead.
Also that visibility toggle thingy is bound to `mouse-1`, and doesn't
work on `mouse-2` but the above talks about a `mouse-2` event.
Did you click with `mouse-2` or was your `mouse-1` click converted into
a `mouse-2` click (presumably by `mouse-1-click-follows-link`)?
