To follow up on my own question: I guess that EMACS faces could be
used for that purpose. But I don't want to reinvent the wheel, if
someone has a solution ready...

From where? If you enter a password interactively (e.g. in a shell, or
for Tramp, ...) then Emcs should already try to do that for you.

So you mean the password is in a file and you want to write a new mode
specific to that kind of file where the password is not displayed (but
kill&yank still copy the real text)?
That's easy to do, yes.
