>From the docstring of the variable `authinfo-hidden':
| Regexp matching elements in .authinfo/.netrc files that should be hidden.
| 
| This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 27.1.

If you don't want the passwords to be hidden, set that to nil.

If you _do_ want the passwords to be hidden, you need to make sure the
file is opened in `authinfo-mode' with a magic comment like this:
| # -*- mode: authinfo;-*-
