Mask passwords in debug log on user password operations
When a user is created, they change their password, or admin
changes their password and debug logging is enabled, the value of
the user's password was logged. The value should be masked.

Shadow the values of sensitive fields like 'password' by some
meaningless garbled text like "XXXXX" is one way to fix.
Well, in addition to this, I think we should never pass the 'password'
with its original value along the code and save it in any persistence,
instead we should convert it to a strong hash value as early as
possible. With the help of a good hash system, we never have to need
the original value of the password, right?
