Hi, In the latest Fedora 19 Beta TC2 install after I got through the initial steps of the install I started to setup my root password. To my surprise my password was shown in plain text instead of bullets. I believe that this is a major security risk and that this is a new UI change going forward and this is not a bug. Do you think this is a good idea? What if you are installing and someone is looking over your shoulder and you don't know about this new "UI improvement"? Someone would see a password that you may or may not often use whether it's secure or not. Even if someone watched you type the password or recorded it with a camera, that would be harder to decrypt than just showing it in plain text while you type it in to anaconda. In addition, it was stated that this is becoming a "popular" UI enhancement but there was no documentation provided as to where this is popular. In my experience you would click on an icon next to the dialog box if you wanted to see the password. This is what is becoming popular. Not showing it as plain text while you type. Thoughts?
