Airport Password Tiger vs Leopard
In Tiger if you go to system preferences>network>airport>configure>preferred network. Double click on the current network (wireless security is WPA in this case). If you click to "show password" it reveals a password that is NOT the one in the router.
In Leopard if you go to system preferences>network>advanced and double click on the current network with WPA security and check show password, the password that was entered to have this computer join the network is fully revealed, the SAME as in the router.
Both of the situations above have admin privileges. I always found in Tiger that as you entered the password, you could click “show password” to confirm typing the right password, but after entering it, it would default to a password that was not the one in the router. This seemed like a good security measure and it still works for me that way in Tiger. Leopard is entirely different as described above.
Is there a way to not reveal the password in Leopard without having to create another account without administrator permissions?
