Title:
[nvidia] Password visibility toggle stays active during login of next
user (gdm's gnome-shell process stays running)
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When logging into Ubuntu's main login screen there is a toggle to show
the password (the little eye on the right side of the password input
box). If the previous user enabled this when logging in and left this
in an enabled state, that state will persist. The next user logging
in, after the previous logged out, will type his or her password and
it will be plainly visible on screen.
Consider that:
- Typing passwords is often routine (a new user might often not notice in
time his or her password appears unmasked)
- The state of the eye icon might not be clear by itself
- Password masking not being enabled by default is not standard, and for good
reason
This happens when logging into Ubuntu (Focal Fossa 20.04) on a default
install.
