[wp-testers] Your mission, should you choose to accept it

There is one thing that needs to be changed since Mingus or before, but i
always forget to mention it. When you install WordPress the password field
is set as a text (type="text"), so anyone around me is able to see that
password as i type it, even worst, it is remembered by the browser as it is
part of the form data stored, so it will be auto-populated next time (in
plain text).

In setup-config.php, the field

<td><input name="pwd" type="text" size="25" value="password" /></td>

should be replaced with,

<td><input name="pwd" type="password" size="25" value="password" /></td>

It is not critical, but necessary.

Regards.
