*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 958608 *** Reopening this. I haven't seen a single paper advocating for this or even a single software do what Anaconda is doing here. Sometimes, you have an option to show passwords and that would be a nice thing to have and mobile UI might show one character at a time when typing (but only because it is very easy to mistype in a cramped screen) but there is no precedent for showing the entire password when the widget is focused. Please rethink this. Thanks This bug was originally a dupe of the other one, not sure if you intended to reopen this one. oh, you are right. let me fix this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 958608 *** |
