This is not a UI issue. The password is stored outside users's home directory and there is an API to query that password. The API requires authorization. By default the first user is authorized to access that but if you create more users those are not. I don't see why you would hash a wifi password either, how would you then use it to authenticate to a wifi access point?It does appear that this is a design/UI/UX decision, though, and other DE's also show the password. So you cannot be the first to mention it and a quick DDG search turns up 7-year-old discussions on other Q&A forums talking about obfuscating the password with a hash, which would only slow someone down.You should not have to create a guest. This issue does not exist on windows or Apple.
