Description

The Install Tool passwords is now rendered in password type fields, which shows asterisk for the passwords. This is generally fine, but the usability for an admin is lowered at the same time. Some places there is only one field to add the password, and this can lead into unexpected errors, from typos.

Solution:

Provide a checkbox below the database password field, which shows the content of the field when checked. When unchecked the field is yet again a password field.

AFAIK, the UX team wants a generic solution for all password fields in the backend. This should then be re-used in the install tool. I do not remember any issue handling this, though.
