Password shown in reports

[riosf]

I'm a new user testing HostMonitor. When a test report is generated, for example, for monitoring disk space on another computer, it shows the username and password used to access it. For security reasons, is there a way to eliminate the password from being shown in the report or to show asterisks instead?

Password in the report??? In which field?

The following is a portion of the report generated for a test in another computer. As you can see in the last two lines the password is shown:

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;- HostMonitor`s export/import file -

;- Source file: -
;- Generation mode: Selected_Tests -

It is not a report. Report is something like this http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/examples/rep-man.htm
If you want to protect your settings (including passwords) use "Protect all settings by password" option located on Miscellaneous page in the Options dialog.

This option controls accesses and does not avoid a password from being showed when an export is made. HostMonitor is an excellent tool but making a password visible is a security issue that you need to reconsider. Is there a way to eliminate the password field?

Nobody will be able to use export function when you protect settings by password.
