Hi,
I originally meant that the password inputbox shows the password like
"mypassword" and not like "**********"

Yeah, but the idea is to encrypt client-side to prevent sending
passwords over the wire in cleartext. The can be loaded from a dump
pre-hashed, so why can't we set them that way for a little extra
security?

Agreed. Normally, I would hope that is a hash...

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo(at)postgresql(dot)org)
