[warzone2100-dev] [Warzone 2100 Trac] #2969: when entering password for multiplayer...
in the most recent master - i have noticed that the password for joining a multi-player game is in the clear. now being as the password is the same for my credentials here on the forums, i find this an entirely unsafe method. should the passwords not be hidden by pips or stars or X's or something????? this should be fixed asap. thanks. i have submitted a ticket and here is a screen shot ( not my real password) of the password showing what i am describing.
yes. and if it is clear text showing, can this not be seen by others. always having been told to not put in a password that can be seen by others. nor stored in a text file somewhere. if this isn't what is happening, then explain it.
In this case, your password isn't being used like you think...
All WZ edit boxes can't do what you want, since input wasn't part of the design that the pumpkin guys were thinking about.

i.e. not just remove the requirement of a login, but the existence of the login as well
But ... that's ... bad. Everybody wants to get rid of fake names and fake ranks.
Inability to hide password is a bad reason for completely removing logins, i think, though i agree that anonymous access should still be possible.

Indeed. I think most players were looking forward to logins.
This is why some features aren't implemented: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7490&view=unread#p87241
