Title: Password visible at login screen Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: We have a shared computer (2 user accounts) and I was surprised to find after screen lock that my password was visible when entering it to log back in. * Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 18.04 * gdm 3.28.2-0ubuntu1.2 (I don't seem to have any packages matching screensaver, so GDM?) I expected: to see masked characters when entering my password I saw: my password visible on screen! I was not able to repeat the issue after a reboot. Checking "security" because that way security team gets to decide if this is really a vulnerability - sorry if that's turning the volume up a bit high, I won't be offended if you make it public straight away, but I'd rather you had the option than that I got it wrong.
