Plain Text Password

I find the plain text password quite unpractical in case someone might look over your shoulder, while I completely understand to why this has to be in plain text to be then encrypted in the database and what not, I do am wondering why you’re not changing the type from this input field to password? As in:

<input name=”smtp_pass” type=”password” id=”smtp_pass” value=”” size=”40″ class=”code”>

This will still parse the password as plain text to the database, but will prevent overlooker to actually see the password.

I’ve personally changed this to the plugin for personal use, but I would love to actually see this being changed for the official release so that it’s just a tiny bit more secure for those who don’t know how to retrieve such password.
