As it's currently configured, I have no master password set, and cannot view passwords in my Site Manager.
The options seem a little backward to me. If somebody really wants the security for a multi-user environment, they can set the Master Password which fully protects outside access to the Site Manager. However, this configuration allows passwords to be unmasked.
But anyone who
doesn't want the security is
not able to view their passwords. What's the point? Anybody who wanted to know my passwords could come along, set a Master Password, see my Site Manager passwords, then delete the Master Password. Since this configuration isn't secure to begin with, why mask them in the Site Mangager at all?
If you displayed Site Manger passwords for users who don't have a master password, wouldn't that make
everybody happy?
