Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
The security key should be obfuscated by default, with a selectable
option for viewing in plain text. No such option exists for WEP or WPA,
so the security key is always visible. Passwords are always obfuscated
in a very Windows-like fashion, for IEEE 802.1X, with no option to make
the key visible.
To reproduce:
1) New connection > select your wireless interface.
2) Click the correct ESSID in the list or enter it into the 'Essid' box.
3) Click Next.
4) Check the 'Use Wireless Security' box.
5) Select the appropriate security type from the 'Security' drop-down.
6) If the type from step 5 is 'WPA' or 'WEP' then enter the key in the
appropriate box.
7) The key you enter is never obfuscated.
8) If the type from step 5 is 'IEEE 802.1X' then the 'Password' and 'Private
secret key' boxes are both obfuscated and cannot be made visible.
