There's currently no way to tell if a database server node actually has a saved password. Even if you edit the form, the password field shows up empty. The only way to see if there is a password is to dig into the database or use devel load.

The attached patch adds a simple "Database password: Saved" or "Database password: None" display to db server nodes.

FWIW, we had discussed removing the DB password from the front-end entirely, which I think would be best.
