Actually, it was that the passphrase displayed on the screen if you
went back to review settings.

(The WPA is keyed in from the remote... so the only security there is
"can someone snoop my IR"... but if someone can snoop your IR, they can
generate IR for you and you have tons of other problems...  It isn't
sent on the wire since it is in the firmware networking settings, the
only mode where the server never sees remote keypresses, since, well,
networking isnt on...)

Of course, by the same measure, if someone has physical access to your
remote and your Squeezebox, you have more problems than whether or not
your passphrase is displayed.   Get them out of the house... oh, and
get your remote back.
