SUMMARY
A streamer mode for keysmith would be nice where the codes aren't visibly
shown, but can still be copied. This would be interesting for multiple reasons:
1. during the work day I usually leave keysmith open since it's more practical
for me and I lock the screen anyway, but I don't want to screenshot and
publicize codes by accident and make it easier to somehow throw a GPU cluster
at the crypto behind it, and 2. apparently sandboxed apps can sometimes access
the graphical output of other apps due to GPU drivers not always zeroing out
previously used texture memory, so not rendering the actual codes might provide
a security benefit. There might be other reasons too I didn't think of.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Unlock keysmith with code
2. Once keysmith is open, try to not constantly openly show and render the
codes.
OBSERVED RESULT
It doesn't seem to be possible to somehow obscure or hide the codes as long as
keysmith is unlocked.
EXPECTED RESULT
It would be nice to not show the codes, kind of like a "password visible"
toggle, in some sort of streamer mode. I don't think it's a major issue to show
them by default, but an option to change that would be nice.
