[TYPO3-core] RFC #14390: Provide a way to see Install Tool DB passwords in the form

[Lars Houmark]

Hi,

This is a SVN patch request.

Type: Tweak / Usability improvement

BT reference: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=14390

Branches: trunk

Problem:
	The Install Tool passwords is now rendered in password type fields, 
which shows asterisk for the passwords. This is generally fine, but the 
usability for an admin is lowered at the same time. Some places there is 
only one field to add the password, and this can lead into unexpected 
errors, from typos.

Solution:
	Provide a checkbox below the database password field, which shows the 
content of the field when checked. When unchecked the field is yet again 
a password field.

How to test:
	Apply the patch and go to the Basic Configuration and scroll to the 
database area. Notice the new checkbox below the password field. Perform 
check / uncheck/ check/ value change / check / uncheck :)

Notes:
