When there is network disconnection, network manager pops up the window with "Authentication required by wireless network". In this way it also shows the network password. Is this correct behavior to show password?

Shouldn't there be a checkbox for "show password"? This would be unchecked by default, but may be checked if you've enabled it in the past. Anyway, this works properly for me; the password is shown as dots.
