Displaying admin password on wrong input ?

[Dj_Apx]

Hello,

I was just wondering : why does CMSMS display the password you entered in the admin panel when you entered it wrong ?
i found out that :

• No other CMS does it
• No other kind of big website does it
• It's no use for the newbie-administrator who still sees this password as ***** characters, so it would never help him/her to find out where he/she got the password wrong
• It could lead to anybody reading the almost-exact password in the html source if the admin left the browser open to that page or by using the 'back' button enough times even after the admin logs out
• No login system i know of does it

So is there actually a reason for that ? I have to delete that feature every time i install CMSMS, i was just wondering if it had a use.

All the best,

No real reason.  Just never really thought of removing it.  Good idea.
