Title:
  User password should not be displayed/sent

Status in OpenObject Server:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,

  The user password is shown in cleartext in the Preference page source,
  this allow an attaquant to steal the password from the user.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Log in the web client
  2. Go the Preferences (top-right button)
  3. Show the page source, search for id="password" ... the <input/> element contain the value="PASSWORD".

  The password should always be anonymized between the user and the web client.
  A better approch could be:
    Always send ********, because if the user want to change his password he need to re-type it entirely anyway. So if the web client received anything other than ******** then, and only then it should write the password to the server!.

  (NB: This bug was reported by an external Security Consultant during
  an OpenERP security audit of one of our customer)
