It shows a password field on index page(s) when you can enter exhibition password to list all exhibitions under that password.

Just a way to make it easier to enter protected exhibitions.

BTW: I just finished fixing one security thing that concerned me in EE: ftp passwords in editor can currently seen in html source code in editor. Not any more: I did my own two-way string crypting algorithm with 127-bit private key. One switch in fetchsettings hides ftp passes from editor pages and in subsequent database backups. Editor is also now protected by login screen, but if someone does hack in he/she does not get any passes from there or from database dumps.

Pass:
mypassword1

Thanks Pekka!

Hiding the password makes it better for all of us. Thank you for including that feature. When will be have a 'fix' to implement it in EE1.5?
