Any way to block the incorrect password?

I want to know if there is any way to block an incorrect password from displaying. I know that the devs have been adamant that it's not a bug, but I have several users that log on from public computers, and don't want their passwords revealed if they type one character wrong.

I did the following on my board and it seemed to work. Open up LogInOut.php and find:

fatal_error("$txt[40] - $user: $attempt");
   else
   {
      $settings = mysql_fetch_row($request);
      if ($settings[0] != $passwrd)
         fatal_error("$txt[39] - $user: $attempt");

Then remove the $attempt part from the code, it will remove the password. If you want to remove both the username and password tried remove - $user: $attempt from the code.

That's exactly what needs to be changed for the paranoid :)

Now, we haven't yet thought of how we can prevent people from snaggin your passwords in route from the browser to peoples server but we'll see what we can do ;)

Thanks, guys ... I left for a day or three, and this thing fell to the third page. :)

BTW, I didn't think it was such a big deal, but apparently some people do.
