    Is it possible to hide network mount passwords

    Dear forum,

    When creating or viewing Network Mounts via Menu - Setup - Network - Mounts - Mount Manager - Add a new network mount or Mountpoints management
    is it possible to hide or mask passwords (with * etc) ?

    I have a NAS. It has a large photo folder share and an even larger music folder share. I setup mounts on my Vu+ Duo2 to connect to my NAS and this allows me to listen to music and / or view my photos via my duo on the TV. However, it strikes me that anyone who has access to my remote control or my duo can see passwords to my network shares which is not exactly ideal or secure. Thus my question.

    I hope I have posted in the correct forum. Please see my sig for my duo details. Many thanks.

    Interesting post,i have never used a password but thinking you can use a password when setting up mounts and i had to use a password when setting up my nas for first use.I would have thought you had to enter password for it to be granted access to that drive do you not.

    It's certainly given me food for thought, anyone with access to E2 can read your NAS login and password from automounts.xml or fstab, which I had stupidly set as an admin password.
    I've now set up as a user with only access to my recordings share
