I changed the relation between username/password fields to 2:1 as suggested
and took over the fix for missing column header.
I did not take over the change with using TextEntry for the password field.
I am basically with you that the password is really not that secret, since it
is visible in plain text in various files and can be spied at by looking at
process
command lines. Nevertheless, I would expect someone would come up with
a scenario where a super secret password is visible in plain text on a screen
for anyone able to glance at the screen of a sysadmin. Especially since we use
the same code base for openSuSE and our enterprise product line (SLES, SLED)
I would not think it would be wise to do such a change.
