Most browsers try to autofill password input fields in forms. While this is useful in most times it is very nasty in WATO rules where passwords are being configured. This not only destroys existing passwords when loading and saving a rule. It also renders the {{view in plaintext}} button useless.

This has been fixed for all browsers.
