Proxy password box is "in the clear" #34

Any chance of switching the implementation of the password box to one that only shows asterisks? I have to use my network password here so having it "in the clear" is a real security issue.

Which password box are you referring to? You can make a screenshot using getgreenshot.org and paste it directly in a new comment box.

Sorry, I was hopelessly opaque there. I meant the network proxy box in 'settings', I need to enter my network username and password there - username is no problem but I don't like that anyone can look under the settings option and see my password!
