First of all: Nice Project! Everyone who starts a Project with the ESP8266 needs this lib! :)

Just a small change:
If you use a Password-Field in the HTML to hide the Password chars,

@yomasa Do you mean you don't want to hide the password in the input field, or don't want to use POST so you see the password in the URL? See discussion in #129
