> Is it wise to use htmlEditFormat() on the value of password fields?

I wouldn't be passing a value through to a password field at all.  Makes it
too easy for someone to view source and see the existing password.  For
example, Sarah has her password saved in Firefox.  Sarah leaves the room for
a while and John gets on her computer and logs in as Sarah since the
password is saved.  John goes to the account page and views source.  Now he
knows Sarah's password and can log in from anywhere.  Yes, it's a stretch,
but a possibility that can be avoided by simply not passing a value of the
password field.
