An interesting thought on this... if you embed the password into an image file, and then load that image as the background for an HTML tbale cell. 99% of browsers will not print background information ... period... and you can not usually right click on the password and save the data either since backgrounds are not treated as your standard image would be.

Best of all, since you can embbed it in a table, you can make it look presentable, just put a couple of spaces in the table or some such like that.

If you needed to make finding the file more difficult, generate an annoyingly long filename, maybe from a few md5 sums, call a script which will calculate the md5 some of some random text on the fly and then load the appropriate image with that data... then the user would never even really know where the image was coming from. Or just base64 encode even.. does not have to be md5.
