<title>At Password Prompt</title>

<para>
This section allows you to choose how you want to input your password when you are asked for it. Default is to have one star for each letter you type. You can change that to have three stars for each letter you type (making it more difficult to guess the number of letters if someone is looking). You can also choose to have nothing displayed while you type your password, making this operation even more secure.
