Console Shows your minecraft.net password in plain text

[Shadow guy]

When minecraft's log in server are down and you attempt to start one of the mod packs , the console gives this message.
Example message:
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL: https://login.minecraft.net/?user=Shadowguy27&password=<insertpasswordhere>&version=13

This is for version 1.1.4 of the launcher.
