Description of problem: When inserting my 3g broadband usb modem, a popup ask for the sim pin. The entry is in the clear, everybody can read it. The pin is also specified in the network manager connection definition, but this is not used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.8.1-0.1.git20100510.fc13.i686 ModemManager-0.3.13.git20100507.fc13.i686 How reproducible: Insert usb 3g modem Actual results: Asks for pin, entry is in clear text Expected results: Either entry is obfuscated (`*') or definition from NetworkManager stored in keyring is used. If the clear text entry is aborted, when trying to connect NetworkManager/ModemManager complain about pin not available (GSM modem enable failed: (32) SIM PIN required) Additional info: Hope this is correct here, more information will be supported of course
lxde-common is not the correct component, even if you have experienced this in LXDE. The dialog is from NetworkManager-gnome, reassigning to NetworkManager.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that the modem pin still gets echoed in the clear. The "show it" button doesn't do anything.

So this bug is about the *initial* PIN dialog when you plugin in a locked adapter. I have investigated and found that if you cancel the initial pin dialog, and then attempt to activate the 3G connection, a second PIN dialog pops up that does not obscure the PIN. I'll fix that too, but this bug is about the *initial* PIN dialog, and if you enter your PIN there (where it is obscured) then you will not be asked to unlock it later with the other dialog.
Ok, I restarted Networkmanager and modemmanager, and I am fairly sure that I did everything to have it using the new files. Will try again thoroughly. Though, if I look at the glade file, the Visibility flag is true, which means echo. I'm aware that this is by no way a proof... Keep you informed. Klaus

Yeah, there are actually two dialogs; the initial one that pops up immediately when you plug your card in *does* obscure the password. If you cancel that, and then later select the modem connection from the menu, the dialog that shows up there does *not* have the password obscured. But this bug is about the first dialog and if you enter the PIN in that first dialog, then you won't ever see the second one. I will fix the second dialog, but I don't think that priority is as high given that the first dialog is now fixed.
My bad. You're right, whatever I've done I've not tested it correctly... Will adjust the rating on admin. Sorry for that, Klaus
