This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

RUNRMTCMD should be DSPINPUT(*NO) for the password.
No modern interface that prompts for user credentials forces it to be displayed. A related idea would be a new PF key for commands that causes a DSPINPUT(*NO) field to be dynamically recast as DSPINPUT(*PROMPT), (this is like the 'show password' option on may web sites.)
CHGUSRPRF should have a two hidden pw input field, similar to CHGPWD. I'd suggest something like:
CHGUSRPRF PASSWORD(continues to be valid for backward compatibility and is hidden)
PASSWORD1( hidden) PASSWORD2(hidden ) If the PASSWORD is not provided, then PASSWORD1 and PASSWORD2 must be supplied and must match.
Related, it would be useful if there was a new PFkey when a command is prompted that toggles DSPINPUT(*NO) fields to be DSPINPUT(*PROMPT) so the user can choose to see the hidden pw values. (PFkey might only show if there is a DSPINPUT(*NO) parameter.
