Is this a known problem?

At various times (e.g. when I am using a terminal) within emacs, I
need to enter my password. This is, by default, stored in my typing
history, and becomes visible with view-lossage. Is there some way to
prevent passwords from being recorded in typing history, so that if I
run view-lossage (usually accidentally), my password won't show up on
screen?

I've looked around on the web a bit, but didn't find anything that
addresses this. Thanks for any tips,
Mandar.
