But that's the point. I don't *want* to see the value. I don't want someone standing over my shoulder when I click the admin link and see my password. I guess it'd be one thing if it was buried somewhere, but it's the default page that pops up as soon as I enter the admin control panel. Sure, there could be a typo, but lots of us are *used* to hidden passwords and make it a point to *not* typo when we put them in.

If you can't include encryption, that's fine. I doubt anyone's gonna be digging around enough to find it in the files, but it makes me uncomfortable seeing my password sitting there in plain text. It's far more of an annoyance for that reason then for the possibility of a typo.

I'm not even asking that you change it globally to future releases, I just want to know how to change it on *mine*.

Thanks.
