Smaug sends this before entering a password, which turns off echo then back on after the password is entered.
It works in MUSHclient, but MudPortal seems to ignore this?

This is not supported for now because declaring ECHO support involves more than this use case. Also, it doesn't seem that important given that the user already reveals the password when typing it into the input field.
I'm about to release a plugin that shows a login prompt for password input. This will have the user type their password in a field where it will be obscured, and it won't be echoed to the ScrollView.
Down the line, I'll probably add enough echo support to hide password input properly--it's just not a priority.

Perfect, that'll work just as well. Hopefully once I get used to this JS environment, I can start being a bit more innovative myself.

Password echoing should be suspended now, btw. It was quicker to do than I thought.
