Click new database->MySQL database->authentication->password
when you type a password, it is displayed plain text.
Suggestion: use JPasswordField

    This is not a bug.
    It is intentional to have the password displayed in plain text as using JPasswordField would only give a false sense of security.
    JPasswordField offers no security unless the password is actually encrypted when stored in the config file.
