Comment(by nacin):

 From IRC:
 {{{
 [22:20] <nacin> dancole: We will need to get them to confirm their
 password
 [22:20] <nacin> You want to make an attempt at that?
 [22:21] <dd32> nacin: no need for confirmation IMO, It gets displayed on
 the next page anyway
 [22:22] <dd32> and i thought emailed too.. But i dont seem to have an
 email for it
 [22:22] <nacin> Oh, right, it gets displayed on the next page. In which
 case, why type="password"?
 [22:22] <nacin> (If they insert their own password on type="password",
 then we shouldn't display it on the next page.)
 [22:23] <dd32> Good point. Might as well mention that on the ticket then
 :)
 [22:26] <dancole> Yeah, I didn't do two password fields since they get to
 see their password on the next page, but having the type as password
 doesn't make sense if they will see it on the next page.
 }}}

 So, a choice. Either we show them their password in clear text on step 1,
 since we display it in step 2, or if they supply their own password (and
 confirm it in a second box), we will need to hide the plain-text password
 in step 2.

 I'm in firm support of the latter. It's a user-supplied password and
 should absolutely be masked.
