Title:
  mythfilldatabase shows first 6 letters of password with wget command

Status in MythTV:
  Confirmed
Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mythtv

  I saw hard drive activity on my server and ran iotop.  I was
  astonished to see my username and the first 6 letters of my password
  to my schedulesdirect.org account in the wget command mythfilldatabase
  was executing.  Other people use this server and they could easily see
  this.

  wget --http-user=<username> --http-passwd=<first 6 letters of my
  password>~0-1.26437 --output-document=- --header=Accept-Encoding:gzip

  Thank You For Your TIme
