Hide field password of the System User

Question

Good afternoom, 
 When I access the Designer and see the System User list, when I select a user, the properties are displayed at the bottom and the Password Hash is shown. Is it possible to hide this field so that the password of the System users cannot be seen? 
 
 Greetings.

Hi Roberto, 
 Depending on how much effort you want to go to (the passwords should be hashed and hence not readable). 
 The password hash field, like any other, should be one you can find in the permission model where you can add (or remove) permissions including the view permission in the designer. 
 If you do this the password should become invisible... Be aware this does mean you'll have to set up your permission groups in such a way so that the people using the designer (who often have full access to the database fields) have far more limited permission groups, i.e... More effort then you might expect before hand... 
 As Troy rightly pointed out, when you need to do action's like a password reset these also become more complicated this way... Again, you can set up an IT-Shop order (with a custom process) as an example... 
 So, can you hide the hashed value? With some effort, certainly.... 
 
 That being said my recommendation would be to actually look at better measures (such as privileged access management for accessing the designer) to address your clients worries...
