I'm configuring WiFi access to a printer. Look, I'm not going to be doing this while on a bus with people looking over my shoulder. So I don't need to enter the password into a field that just displays asterisks, and type it twice to check that it's the same (and it probably won't be). Let's face it, because of the asterisks I'll just type it into an editor and then copy and paste it (assuming you haven't managed to disable that). Oh, and if it still turns out to be wrong, don't throw me right out of the configuration program so that I have to start the whole process again. Sylvia.
