Description:

These classes provide a useful feature for BeOS applications that require 
a user to enter a password. They are designed to be robust (except where 
noted) supporting most standard forms of input including pastes and drags. 
 
All charcters entered are replaced with a blot character (by default a '*'). 
Attempts to copy the password will yield only a string of blot characters. 
Dragging text behaves similarly for text dragged outside the PasswordView. 
 
The PasswordView class has been designed with security in mind. There is no 
way short of a memory dump or key grabber for another application or user to 
obtain the password. In memory encryption is planned for a future release.
