----------------------------------------

Thanks for comment Dan,

Actually, I did not criticise your patch (even if you found some advices in my 
comment ;o). I tried it since then and it's ok to me. The only point was that a 
new user will not see any chars when typing and may be wondering if the POS is 
not working or such

I understand and agree about your security concerns. For the password lenght we 
could enforce the number of characters. There is already something like that in 
OFBiz (see security.properties). For the number of chars seen on screen (number 
of * actually) we could use a random factor (x3, x5) when rendering each 
character.

Maybe your solution is better, it's just that I'm worrying about red herrings 
;o)

Any opinion anybody (aleady 2 for, one wondering) ?
