Title:
  User password should not be displayed/sent

Status in OpenObject Server:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,

The user password is shown in cleartext in the Preference page source, this 
allow an attaquant to steal the password from the user.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Log in the web client
2. Go the Preferences (top-right button)
3. Show the page source, search for id="password" ... the <input/> element 
contain the value="PASSWORD".

The password should always be anonymized between the user and the web client.
A better approch could be:
  Always send ********, because if the user want to change his password he need 
to re-type it entirely anyway. So if the web client received anything other 
than ******** then, and only then it should write the password to the server!.

(NB: This bug was reported by an external Security Consultant during an OpenERP 
security audit of one of our customer)
