Is this a defect!!!!

Hello Readers,

I found following stuff while logging in to my yahoo account.




Well, It might happen that the password that I have entered might get visible.

I have two question for the audience

1. Can this type of defect identified by Automation testing.

2. Can this type of defect is reproducible? Cause if this is a defect then a tester might need to give the "steps to reproduce" to the developers.
