The username/password masking is so efficient in mitter that users might not notice it...
This is what I use in gc_dialer to the dialogs. Someone with a few minutes of python experience should be able to apply it to the mitter code.

Code:
self._widgetTree.get_widget("usernameentry").set_property('hildon-input-mode', 7)
self._widgetTree.get_widget("passwordentry").set_property('hildon-input-mode', 7|(1 << 29))
This will give the usernameentry text entry all letters, number, and specials without captilization. The 1<<29 turns on hiding of the entry ( which is automatically reset once you use hildon-input-mode ). This took more than one day of research to find out the trick,
