Description: The current password system is hard to administer. This could be alleviated by building on the @_site_<authlevel> mechanism that has already been introduced.

This proposal is to allow substitution of @_site_<authlevel> password indicators anywhere, and to allow @_group_<authlevel> password indicators on group pages.

This would greatly simplify administration, and enhance flexibility of the entire system.
