--- Comment #8 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- (In reply to Ivan Čukić from comment #7) > It will hide *and* clear the field. This is to follow the new screen locker > policy (or did I dream it Nate?). Nope, you're right and that's the case now. :) > > Password reveal button is useful, though it kills the point of having a long > passphrase :) > > The main issue I have with it (apart from the over-the-shoulder ones like > this bug was) is that in order to have the reveal button, the string needs > to sit in memory unencrypted. If password fields were simpler (no reveal, no > left-right arrow keys, no random character deletion/change), each char could > be encrypted as soon as it is entered without decrypting the old ones. Could we not still encrypt each character in memory but store them all in an array to preserve the above-mentioned features? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
