For editing the WebUI, we currently send a string to hide passwords of length 6, "******".
WebUI 2 doesn't warn about min length constraints, but WebUI3 does.
This PR adds two asterisks to abide by the hardcoded length of 8, but in reality the better fix is to use the _minLength field and make sure the fake string meets the constraints.
I tried to do this with std::string(_minLength, '*') but I couldn't get it to end up correct on the web side, so I reverted back to hard-coded. It could just be my lack of C/C++ experience, so maybe someone can change it to something more robust using _minLength.
