Bug ID: 146947
Summary: Ability to show/reveal characters being typed into
password prompt to decrypt a document
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When opening an encrypted document, such as a spreadsheet, LibreOffice prompts
for the password/passphrase to decrypt it.
This is nice, but I have some documents where the passphrase is really long and
I tend to misstype quite often. I would like to have a togglebutton (or
checkbox, or GtkSwitch) in that password prompt that I can click to let the
characters be plainly visible, when I know that I'm in a safe environment
(i.e.: nobody looking over the shoulder, no screencasting/recording going on,
not giving a presentation in a conference, etc.).
I'd be OK (and would recommend, in fact) with that toggle's state being off by
default, so I would have to turn it on each time.
Steps to Reproduce:
Try to open an encrypted document.
Actual Results:
Characters are obscured by dots
Expected Results:
Being able to see the plain characters, if desired.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
A button to allow seeing the characters as I type them.
