Description
When using the prepping feature, the switchers' password is included directly in the URL. The URL opened is https://www.nationstates.net/template-overall=none/page=un?nation=merni1&password=********&logging_in=1 (I replaced the actual password by *). This is possibly a security issue.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the prepping feature and tracing where the switcher's password is added to the NationStates URL. Done means the prepping flow no longer places the password directly in the URL and the resulting login behavior remains correct.
