Package: sddm Version: 0.17.0-1 Severity: normal
The greeter ui is part of the theme, the themes shipped with sddm don't have a "show password" button (afaik), the sddm-theme-breeze has this feature, provided by plasma-frameworks' plasmacomponentstandard TextField widget, which seems to work fine. In any case, this is part of the theme, not part of sddm itself. Which theme are you using?
At every login autentifications passwords are automatically shown in clear when entered.
None of the themes I've seen show the passwords in plain text by default, and only breeze has the option to show it by pressing the "eye" button.
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.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. Is your bug report about the existance of the reveal password option (the "eye" icon)? As mentioned, this is part of the theme, if you don't like it, please use a different one.
