*hiya!*
I request to change the password fields for backend users (and
optionally fe users) from the input type "text" to "password".
(as I set my own password in front of a client in his installation
today and I type rather fast and therefore didn't recognize that
it was clear text until I had typed it completely... hmmm...
don't like that very much and I imagine that this occurs often)
Any drawbacks? There must have been a reason to make it not of type
password I think...
btw: another thing I do in nearly every project is to hide the output
of the password column in the page module view for fe-user records and
change the clear text password to an encrypted one...
why isn't that standard behavior too?
I felt always rather uncomfortable to see other's passwords in
clear text... simply md5 "encryption" eases that... though it's not
really secure... but it hinders me (and others) to change to the dark
side... *hehe* ;-)
tia, bye
Wolfgang
