i think a better solution would be to have a new field type
(PasswordField?)...
this way, the admin interface could be customized to handle these
fields, and show that typical
enter-password-twice-and-show-it-using-stars interface.
btw. i ended up with doing a new view for handling users, but that was
because of other aspects (we wanted to present the "admin" user with a
simplified user-management interface).

That's life for you, said McDunn. Someone always waiting for someone
who never comes home. Always someone loving something more than that
thing loves them. And after awhile you want to destroy whatever
that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
