Hi,

Just noticed that if you display the configuration under the statistics
menu it displays your password in clear text. If it is here in clear
text, why do they bother hiding it when you type it in on the Service
Provider settings screen? I would have thought they should have
disabled that. Makes it fairly easy for anyone who happens to walk up
to a browser on your network to find your ISP password!
