SUMMARY
When on the greeter screen the user has the ability to see the password
entered. This introduces a security issue, that when you press the eye icon the
password remains visible. You can even before typing press the eye and the
password is visible for all to see.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot into KDE
2. Press 'eye' icon to view password when entering
3. Password remains visible
OBSERVED RESULT
Password is visible and remains visible.
EXPECTED RESULT
Only show the password when the 'eye' icon is pressed by the mouse. When
releasing the mouse button or moving away, obfuscate the password again.
(Similar as is done in Windows 10).
