Using QLineEdit::PasswordEchoOnEdit?? does not seem to work very well with explanatory line edit. So I guess that in order to fix this, we must extend or subclass ExplanatoryTextEdit?? to add the functionality of showing asterisks.

Implemented so that field shows asterisks when there's no focus, and plain text if it has focus. Needs testing (e.g. to ensure that the real value is used when creating XML requests, not the asterisks).

I think we should not show the plain text when the field is in focus. This would mean that you could actually know somebodies pw when you have short physical access to the device

Implementation model for this needs some more discussion.

The plaintext password is available in the settings file as well.
