Thank you for using Ubuntu and reporting a bug. While this might be
considered a bug, it is not crossing privilege boundaries and is
therefore not a security issue. The password is not displayed
inappropriately, and with having physical access to perform a copy/paste
you have access to show the password.

** This bug is no longer flagged as a security vulnerability
