Would you please make this something that a user could opt out of when configuring alpine from the tar ball?
I'm not a developer, so sorry, I can't.
Many blind users love alpine but with the change with the master password it completely overwhelms them.
Can't they type a simple word, say "john" or a number, like their own phone number (thus easy to remember)? :-?
I suppose it doesn't accept an empty string.Sorry, I don't know what is the difficulty for them to type a password. The risk of password theft (and identity replacement) is the same for everybody, a real risk.
The problem is that they mistype letters, perhaps, and don't notice?Then maybe a string like "11111", the first key in the keyboard, repeated a number of times. Or "123456" if it doesn't accept it.
The solution would be a different technology. Fingerprint reader, perhaps. :-?
