The password shows specifically using fetchmail -v with the IMAP protocol.
Protocol POP3 correctly shows "*" (quotes not included) instead of the
password. Protocol APOP shows what looks like to be some cryptographic
challenge, which IMO is either useless or harmful and should be removed, too.
Found the bug. This will be fixed in 5.8.3.

[W]hat country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time that [the] people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms...The tree of liberty must be
refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Col. William S. Smith, 1787
