But does it seem a little worrisome that passwords are echoed as they are typed? I just noticed this on fastmail. I know that at the time I type i2=password, or something, edbrowse has no way of knowing what I want to do next or the fact that I'm about to address i2, which is an html form element of type "password". So it's impossible to mask out the password with asterisks or dots the way you can if you're typing into something that is pre-established to be a password. But what if there was an invisible mode? i1=username dne (or some keys meaning 'enter the do-not-echo mode') i2=password dne i3* Kevin On Thu, 17 Dec 2015, Kevin Carhart wrote: > > Also, to highlight the good news too: > >> problem areas as well.
