Previous Checkmk versions did not handle passwords well in some edit dialogs. Especially in the setup (WATO) it was possible to access saved passwords in some places, which should not be possible.

The dialogs now ensure that these accesses from passwords entered once and stored on the checkmk server are no longer easily possible.
