I noticed that when you login and type your password or login incorrectly it will go to a screen that has what you typed in include the password.  Now this is very insecure when using a public computer since you could only be a letter off with the password and someone can try and figure it out from there.  Any way of changing this so when the screen comes up the password field is * out?

Did you also know that it is logged as well. It logges the error including that password in the admin's error log. I get scared I might accidentally misstype the password when I try to login.
