Hi bookme,
The point of hashing data like passwords is that it can't be returned
to its original form. (except for brute hacking)
There is no way to "un-hash" the password.
I don't think I have ever filled out a form where the password was
kept when a validation error re-displayed the form.
It is a small sacrifice on the part of the user to have to re-enter a
password field compared to the security benefits. If you never ever
put a password (hashed or not) into a view, your application will
never be able to accidentally provide a hacker with free pass.
