Nats, Netbilling, allow me to see it. I just realize I mis-spoke regarding Mechbunny, I cannot see the password there (5.0.6). The camscript also hides it.
My point is that all the passwords secure is my content. So I don't know what my liability to the user is if someone gets ahold of "his" password and sees MY content. I mean sure that's potentially a loss for me, but what are the user's damages? I am guessing zero?

Users damages? I am not security expert, but based on main media news the urser's damage is that the hacker uses the password to all other services where that user has the same password. I don't know about your country, but in many countries you also have oblication to tell to customers that their passwords were stolen. I don't see that being so good for your business.
