Bug ID: 166623
Summary: ENHANCEMENT: When Entering A Password to Open An
Encrypted Document, Add The Ability to Display The
Entered Password
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Not just the selected release - 25.2.2.2, but for pretty much every release I
have used.
I have many password-protected files. Writer, Calc, etc
When I am opening one of these files, I often fat-finger a typo, and then have
to wait and wait for the file to be decrypted, only to be told that I have
entered the wrong password.
A) Why not tell me right from the start that the password is wrong, rather than
making me wait and wait?
B) MORE IMPORTANT: Please add some way to view the password I have entered
before I click the login button.
Every password manager I have used recently has this. This is even more
sensitive than LibreOffice docs, because it gives access to almost every web
site I have logged into in the past 8+ years. And for many phone apps as well.
Also many web sites also offer this.
Also smart-phone offer this, too..
But not LibreOffice???
This is very much behind the times.
