Password not in hide status when defining new items

[richardvos]

When items are displayed and / or definied for instance with the "HTTP authentication section" userid and password must be provided.

When viewing these items the password field is not default in hide-status. This means that non-autorized people are able to view these passwords as well.

please provide the zabbix gui with option to display password default in hide-status. ( that is viewing with *). If intended, passwords can be viewed by using the "password-view-option".

note : for security reasons hide the userid field is also recommended

Have you tried using macros?

HI Dmitry2007,

Yes using macros is a way to bypass this issue.
To my opinion, password hide-display options should also be present and default
