  Network Manager showing SIM code cleartext

Bug description:
  I'm using a german Vodafone UMTS stick to connect to the internet via Network Manager. 
  NM correctly prompts for the SIM PIN-code, but shows the digits in cleartext. This is very bad, since UMTS is often used mobile and the SIM code is readable by everyone around.
  I don't want to save the PIN code in NM itself.
