For clarification, it wasn't an important password, but it's still a hassle to have to change it, and I wouldn't like to have the possibility of sending this to someone my mistakenly hitting send, etc..

There's an application in extras-devel called autocomp edit that allows you to delete words from the dictionary. Have a search on this forum for more information.

i think ossipena is on the right path. a password input area should always mask the password and it will not show up in autocomplete.

This is not really a N900 issue. Some apps (especially the new ones and those in the devel repos) are not coded properly when it comes to handling passwords (they do not use the proper password handling widget etc.)
So when you see a password dialog that is not replacing the letters of your password with "*" while you are typing them, that means your password will end up in the autocomplete dictionary.
So when you have such a situation, you may delete the password entry using the autocomplete editor and next file a bug report to the developer of the "offending" app.

Wizard-mounter is one of them. maybe its updated in extras-devel, but the current version in my device leaves my password in the autocomplete list, even when it uses some kind of password widget that shows the *

Password Safe doesn't store the passwords under a *, because it wants to show them to you when you're searching for them.
Here's the link to the autocomplete editor that I mentioned earlier.

@ codeMonkey, Thanks for the tip, the autocomp edit worked like a charm. however, my passwords keep on reappearing, which is annoying...
Is there a way to remove this word from the autocomplete "dictionary"? I used to have a BB pearl, and they had this type of functionality.
Thanks!
