Hi uma p,

Wayne Taylor give you a solution to mask the passwords, but you can retrieve them anyway by "copy" and "past-as-value".

I'm almost sure that it is also NOT legal in your country to store passwords in any readable form.
The maximum you are (probably) to allowed to store is the Hashcount of the password,
so you are able to check "if StoredHash = Hash(password_entry) then...."
