Comment:

 I'd love to see this resolved - entering passwords in plain-text should be
 considered a security issue. Using the same interface that is used
 elsewhere (a password-type field with a toggle to view the entered text
 should the user choose to do so) makes the most sense to me. I wasn't able
 to get the existing patch to apply to trunk though, so marking for
 refresh.
