2811	Missing a PasswordField for model and manipulation	r.pelizzi@…	Adrian Holovaty	"i can't seem to find anyone complaining about this, very strange...

maybe i'm getting this not-so-polite behaviour because of a mistake i made, anyway...


Shouldn't there be a PasswordField for models and manipulators? I was trying to register a user with an automatically generated form and i noticed that the passoword field is type=text. Then i noticed that the User model has a simple CharField as password. This calls for a PasswordField which does 2 things:

1. translates into a type=password in html and validates accordingly (eg. not blank)

2. automatically handles safe password storage (e.g. storing only the md5) instead of specifying separately like in the User model."	enhancement	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	0.95	normal	invalid	password, PasswordField		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
