Comment (by davidszp):

 Instead of masking the password field, how about a compromise where recent
 browsers (see
 http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/How_to_Turn_Off_Form_Autocompletion)
 won't remember the value of the password field via autocomplete so as not
 to leave the password hanging around (as much) in the browser of the
 person that did the install, at least not in as accessible a format? I
 have attached a patch to the latest trunk that does this; it's a slight
 change to one line in setup-config.php.
