Password Feedback in the Terminal
#3
I think it would be helpful if the Feedback option is implemented  8)
It's something that is confusing for new users.
One common question I get asked by Windows converts is "am I doing this right?.... I don't see any password characters in the Terminal when I type"

As for security I don't see an issue as the password itself isn't being displayed.
I've seen in LL where the password can be displayed, from memory I think it was Network Connections when creating a new mobile boradband connection.
How many websites/forums etc. display the asterisks when a password is entered?
To my knowledge nearly all of them.
