[TYPO3-dev] passwords in ext_conf_template.txt

[Søren Schaffstein]

Oh I'm not really worried about admins - since they can access it anyway.

I just thought of a password field helping to protect the password from "very 
easy access". But since this seems impossible by now I just use a textfield 
and live with it.

Thanks everybody!
