APN editor: password data field should hide text while typing

[Marcus Tomlinson]

While typing a password into the "password" field under either the "Custom Internet APN..." or "Custom MMS APN..." editors, the characters should be replaced by dots. (The password is only hidden when focus is move to a different UI element).

The echomode is set incorrectly to passwordechoonedit and should use just - TextInput.Password

Fixed.

The OSK still covers the "Cancel" and "Save" buttons, and you can't scroll down to them.

OK. testing..

The password entered in the APN isn't actually considered "secret". This is a password that is found on the internet and entered, not individual per user.

That's an excellent point. Is there another term we could use, then, instead of "password"? Notwithstanding the trend towards revealed passwords in mobile interfaces generally <http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1941>, if we just make it a plain-text field people may freak out.

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

The issue is it is called password where the users will find the information from the carrier so I'd think we need to conform to the unfortunate naming

Fair enough. So, I fixed this in the redesign by adding a "Hide password" checkbox below. The checkbox exists not so much to be used, as to notify+reassure people that revealing the password is expected default behavior. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking?action=diff&rev2=262&rev1=260>
