Public bug reported:

When you are on admin/edit.php or admin/add.php, the password you enter
for a user is displayed in cleartext. This is not good esp. when you
have form filling turned on in your browser as it remembers the
passwords that you typed in.

The easiest solution is to make this field type "password" so that it is
treated like a password field.

More complicated would be to allow the admin to toggle between viewing
the password or not (like in Moodle) or to implement a password
confirmation (like on the account settings page).
