Bug Description

When enabling a WiFi hotspot in the Network panel of g-c-c the password is shown in the default font. With some fonts this makes it hard to read. For example an uppercase "I" and a lowercase L in the Ubuntu font.

Displaying the password in a monospace font should make this a bit easier to read.
