Subversion password should be shown in a text field

[Matt Giuca]

We've got a nasty nasty hack for letting people access their Subversion repository externally to IVLE: We provide them with a special random password on their settings page, and they paste it into their client. This is horrible but it's all we have at the moment.

There's a huge usability issue: people are having a very hard time selecting the password precisely. Any pixels off and you'll select some spaces or newlines. Double-click seems not to work properly (possibly selecting some spaces). This has a very easy fix: Put the password inside a read-only text field. Then it is impossible not to select it perfectly.
