Description of problem: python-pvc uses dialog to visualize a window to enter some credentials. When the user tries to navigate on the password field, there's no visible cursor neither any feedback for reveived input. I'm delegating this to the dialog component because upstream refuses to implement its own component and we don't know if there's a general intention to hide any password input. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - How reproducible: yes Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install python-pvc 2. /usr/bin/pvc-tui 3. hit OK till the credentials are asked Actual results: password field seems disabled but it's not Expected results: visible focus navigation or at least any user feedback about password entering Additional info: Discussion with upstream: https://github.com/dnaeon/pvc/issues/26
Adding the dialog upstream maintainer to CC. The dialog options used by pvc seem to be: "--no-mouse" "--backtitle" "Python vSphere Client version 0.3.0" "--title" "Login Details" "--mixedform" "Enter IP address or DNS name of the VMware vSphere host you wish to connect to." "0" "0" "0" "Hostname" "1" "1" "" "1" "11" "60" "0" "0" "Username" "2" "1" "" "2" "11" "60" "0" "0" "Password" "3" "1" "" "3" "11" "60" "0" "1"
Thanks. Obviously, we could skip "--no-mouse" for the package to generally improve usability. Though, I've no idea about all those numbers in cmdline.
There's already a dialog option for this: --insecure Makes the password widget friendlier but less secure, by echoing asterisks for each character. The password widget calls dlg_show_string, just like the form and mixedform widgets, and that function handles the --insecure option.
Since dialog provides the necessary capability, it's an issue with python-pvc (whether to hardcode this option or make it optional).
Thanks. Reassigning to python-pvc.
Thanks, too. I'm forwarding the available option to upstream.

Ignore comment #7, done by accident.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 30 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 30 on 2020-05-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '30'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 30 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 30 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-05-26. Fedora 30 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
