[TYPO3-english] Mask fe users password in backend

[Tobias Schmidt]

Hi Gregory,

the default configuration in TYPO3 4.5 for the fe users password field in the backend is to display stars instead of the password. The file typo3\sysext\cms\tbl_cms.php should include something like this:

'password' => array(
	'config' => array(
		'eval' => 'nospace,required,password'
	)
)

In your installation this behavior is probably overwritten somewhere. Take a look at the file typo3conf\extTables.php and see if you can find something like:

$TCA['fe_users']['columns']['password']['config']['eval'] = 'nospace,required';

Add or remove "password" to "eval" to change the display of the password.

Best regards
Tobias
