Hi,
I recently installed wicd to manage wifi connections. It bothered me that the password becomes visible after clicking into the password field (properties window). Since i didn't found anything in in the wiki and the forum i searched a little further and found this post which helped me.
Now I would wish to know if I'm the only one who isn't happy with the password visible. Maybe a workaround like in the linked post could be added to the wicd wiki entry if there are more people who bother about this.
Cheers

I for one don't care and find it very convenient to look it up whenever a guest asks me for my router's key.
Note that the workaround above only works with the GTK frontend. A malicious user could still view the network key with wicd-curses. This can be patched too but then again you would need to change this on every Wicd upgrade. Is this worth the hassle? You decide.

Good point, haven't tought on that. So it probably had to be implemented by the developer as a checkbox in preferences or so. Well, I doubt that there's enough demand for something like this.
