Public bug reported: Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed
Description: This was noticed by my sun (Maximilian, 15yrs). ubuntu 5.10 is installed on Pentium-III/500 with 256Mb RAM, HD 80Gb, Nvidia Riva C128ZX video card On Welcome screen, the first time user clicks on a username, password is for very short readable on password text-box. More cliks let read as many bullets as characters in the password (i.e.: password length 8 char -> 8 bullets are shown). Not the best for security. diego maniacco, Bolzano, Italy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- welcome screen shows user password https://launchpad.net/bugs/43692 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
