Make password fields into the installer being of type="password"

[devym]

I think should be better that all password fields into the installer will be of type="password" instead of type="text".

I provide a patch for this.

Field value in HTML source should be replaced by some "****" as well then

[devym]

Are you saying to change this:

<input name="_dbpass" size="20" id="cfgdbpass" value="pass" type="password" />

with this?:

<input name="_dbpass" size="20" id="cfgdbpass" value="****" type="password" />

The field value is populated from the example config file db.inc.php.dist and if you want to replace it with some "****" you have to do into the config file.
It isn't useful, IMHO.

Why is this needed?

I think it's less convenient and just adds to the probability that user's put in a wrong password.
