This is a bluehost question posted by BHR on 04 August 2008

Yesterday I created a directory (not in the public folder) and used the security service of Bluehost to password protect the directory. When entered the password for a new user, (password showed as dots) created the password but exposed the password on the next screen with the username.

Has anyone had this problem? I think this is a serious security flaw on top that is not a secure connection, I think (not https). Any thoughts?

Any ideas and advice of this matter will appreciate.
