To clarify since I'm not sure it's the correct term, password boxes generally ****** passwords when you type them in, one of them doesn't.

Boxee 0.9.2307
OS X Version
iMac - Leopard

To replicate:
Launch Boxee -> Settings -> Media Sources -> Network Sources -> Add New Source -> Manually Enter IP / Name... -> attempt to enter in a password.

Actual result:
Rather than asterisk out the password like other password boxes in boxee, it is entered in cleartext. The password is also displayed after you select done on the password enter screen.

Expected result:
Pretty obvious, it should ****** the letters as I type them.



Let me know if you need any more information. I love boxee so far, so keep up the great work!

thanks JackPowell.
you are right and we do need to sort out password handling throughout the client. some are already taken care of in the next version and some will be fixed later.

thanks again and welcome to boxee.
