is it really more unsecure than type 3 (the type used by mailboxes to
manage auth password)?

type 3 should be ok for me if at least it used a "password" HTML type.

I know that any user can always view HTML source and get the password,
but it will be not displayed on the interface (so at least protected
from other eyes). 

am I wrong?

-> this was a user's feature request for my module (wbmtranslator) and I
didn't know how to answer it without using the (in this case) confusing
type 12.

@jamie: I think I will use type 3 (even if it never hide password). so
no need for new type 16.

thanks,

bye
