Bug#899984: sddm: Password automatically shown in clear at every user login
Hi, I got very surprised by this feature too, if you are using the
"breeze" or "debian breeze" theme the little "eye" icon is hidden with
the default theme. Try clicking at the very end (right) of the password
field and you should be able to toggle password visibility.
Now I am trying to reproduce this very hard, but I am convinced that
some interaction with the keyboard (maybe a key-combo) also triggers the
password visibility toggle, because I never touch my trackball at this
point and was caught by this a few times before.
It happens regardless of the number of monitors connected for me, but
with multiple screens the user is sometimes forced to click in the
desired password field to make it active, thus increasing the risk of
hitting the hidden "eye" icon. Very bad during a presentation...
Cheers.
