yes. its normal behaviour - debug mode is for trouble-shooting/problem-solving
not a mode you would run in a day to day basis.   the server KNOWS the password..its
stored in variables and arrays so if a 'bad guy' has access to the server they could
get that password anywayin more trivial ways (such as logging it when a request
came through).   some sites do such things for enabling migration from one service
to another...eg grab and put into another store etc...
