[wplug] WPA2 ASCII key being displayed

[Ben Beige]

In the router settings?  It should be displayed, only someone w/ the router
login info can see it. as in the other tread change your admin password on
the router. it's there for reference  most router don't obscure the keys as
you may nee dot log in and refer to it to give it to someone on a new
device.
