Description

PasswordField exists in code but doesn't exist in documentation, even search won't find it.
Something to point out that this exists would be good, because it propably is a quite frequently
used field

Probably more useful, but wider in scope, would be documentation of all the field types available in django.forms.

(In [3184]) Fixed #2071 -- documented the PasswordField (including cavaets). Thanks to
asmodai for the initial patch.

Reverted by Adrian in [3189]. I think there's some confusion - this documentation is for django.forms.PasswordField.
Perhaps mixing it in with models-api isn't the best idea, but it still should be documented somewhere.

The patch in #61 provides a new PasswordField field and documentation for it. I'll close this as a duplicate, thanks asmodai for the initial documentation.

Let's leave this open for the time being. It's not clear at the moment that #61 is totally correct, since it mixes presentation and representation. So this documentation might well still be used when we document form fields. I'll add a note to #61 to point out the connection as well.

(In [4578]) Fixed #2071: added a smidge of docs on PasswordField. Thanks for the patch, asmodai.

My bad :( This was reverted in [4579] because there's no such thing as a PasswordField database field type, it's only a form type and they are not documented (well, with newforms they probably will be)
