Bug#899984: sddm: Password automatically shown in clear at every user login
Package: sddm
Version: 0.17.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
At every login autentifications passwords are automatically shown in clear when entered.
Maybe this is not a bug and you think this is a very useful feature,
and maybe I've inadvertently clicked on the eye icon that I see on other machines but not on this one.
If this is the case there should be a simple way out from this unsafe behavior,
so take this as a wish of better documentation (I find no mention of this in the man pages)
or better hide/unhide icons.
Thanks, r.
