I did read your post. It just wasn't that clear. Various things can produce what you call a "basic login page".
You might want to investigate them, if you haven't already.
For example, the screen that comes up when you use the desktop genie (the Windows PC version at least), which Netgear likes people to use, says nothing about your wifi passwords. It has a "button" you can click to retrieve the passwords. But to use that you have to provide your login details.
Likewise the login page for the Android app, also known as the genie, is similarly tight lipped about wifi passwords.
I'm sure that Netgear will consider your suggestion, but in the meantime you have other ways or working with your hardware that do not exhibit this glaring security risk.
