newforms password field filled with too many ************************s

this is what I am using:
password  = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput, 
label="Password")

even when the password is 4 characters, the '*'s fill the
text field. 
How can I get this to accurately represent the number of
characters in 
the password?

I tried max_length, but it filled up to the max (I had it at
10), then 
threw an error about too many characters in the field.

BTW, it works fine--so I suppose this is a 'feature'. My
users, 
however, may become concerned when they see the long line of
*** in 
the fields. And as many of you know... when the users are
concerned, 
we are concerned. :-/

When are the users getting the line of ***s? Is it when the
field
loads, or after/during the user typing in their password?

One possibility I can think of that would cause this
behaviour - Are
you are trying to put the contents of user.password into the
password
field? If so, you should be aware that the contents of
user.password
is hashed, and will always be 40 (or so) characters long.
