If I enter a password of 'abc' it fails
validation as expected. The
password field is not cleared when it is redisplayed so I can add
'def' to the end of the field. In the condition this time instead
of getting 'abcdef', I get '***def' as the value.
The reason for this is that I usually don't want to send back the
password in clear-text. This behavior is implemented in
MATextPasswordComponent by overriding #string and #string:. It is
actually a GUI thing and not part of the description.
You can of course create your own password component and, as an
example, always return an empty String from #string. To select your
new component use #componentClass: at the place where you define the
password description.
Cheers,
Lukas
