haha trex i didn't say that!!!
It stops freelancers and fellow co workers who are helping on a site build from seeing my password.
Listen pal its basics. If your going to have a password you use a password field for it. Don't be clever for no reason we both know its good coding practise and should be fixed and updated on the next version.
Can you actually think of a sensible reason why it shouldn't be a password field?
Thanks for the help btw
