Title:
Password visible at login screen
Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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.
