Some people (including me, in the past) have physical conditions that mean they type with a higher-than-usual error rate. Entering a typical password without confirmation that the correct key was pressed is difficult and runs a risk of being locked out through repeated wrong attempts.
If it was in Security rather than Accessibility that would also be fine. Since the feature exists, it would just be nice to make it easier to reach than editing gtkrc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701018 Title: a11y panel should have an option to turn on gtk-entry-password-hint- timeout To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/701018/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
