<title>At Password Prompt</title>
<para>
This section allows you to choose how you want to input your password when prompted.
The default is to have one bullet appear for each letter typed. That can be changed
to three bullets for each letter, which making guessing the length of the password
more difficult letters when somebody else is watching. Even more secure is to display
nothing while typing the password.
