thanks for reopening this issue..
I think, the most disturbing problem is, that someone who is sitting
near you and watching your desktop while you are trying to login into
your wlan, could see your passphrase. also if something is wrong with
your login and you just want to have a look at the config, this person
behind you would see the passphrase..
I had such a situation while showing a prototyp to an university
employee at our university. the problem here is, that our login to the
campus wlan is also our login to email, computers, etc. I had to change
my password after that..
it would be great, if there would be again these checkboxes (I saw them
in a version a while ago) which you could select to show the
corresponing text in this box (the text should not be shown on default ;) ).
another solution would be, if the phrase "$_PASSWORD" in a template file
would mean to the gui: "don't show this field in plaintext". maybe this
would be the better solution in regard to usability.

this thing happens only when there is just one field declared in the
template. if there are serveral fields (ie user name etc..) then the
password field doesn't show the password in plain text, if focus is on
another field.
Ah, ok, now I understood.
Reopening the bug, will work on it as soon as possible.
Kindly,
David
