Description q8311692 2020-12-28 22:22:03 UTC
Description of problem:
When disk encryption is enabled, there is no way to see the entered passphrase, e.g. to check if it is entered correctly.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Use Anaconda for installation, e.g. from the Fedora Workstation installer image. Select custom disk setup. Enable encryption, set up the disks and click "Finish". When asked for the passphrase, there is no way to see the passphrase.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2.
3.

Actual results:
The entered passphrase is masked by asterisks. The user can only hope to have entered it correctly.


Expected results:
The user should be offered a possibility to review the entered passphrase. This is usually accomplished by an eye-icon at the right end of the passphrase field. If the user clicks on the eye, he can enable or disable the hiding of the passphrase.


Additional info:
Anaconda could use the components used by the GNOME 3 desktop / gtk3 for revealing entered passphrases.

Can conform this is still a problem on latest Fedora Rawhide.

Reached Rawhide before the F34 branching, so both F34 & F35 should have the fix. :)
