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: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: nekoh...@gmail.com 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
