Notes on Working with Passwords
Consider the following when working with passwords.
For security reasons, passwords are not generated by the interface. If when an object is being read a blank is displayed for the password you should not necessarily assume that the password is actually empty. If you enter an empty password for a change operation on the object, then this is assigned to the object. If a password is to have been entered for the object, then this is probably overwritten.
You must enter passwords in plain text. Use the HTTPS protocol for this.
