Dear All,

Before we upgrade the Moodle it was rotate and shown:
Can you please advise us
Thank you for you support
this was an intentional change - displaying the password on the same page is ugly and it's a bad user experience asking students to enter a long password that is hard to read within a short time frame - they should be using the QR code scanning process.
Ideally it would be good to understand "Why" you want the password to be displayed? - it's also been discussed here:

Dear Danmarsden,
Thank you for your reply and support.
Some classes and lecture halls are too big and wide for some students to scan the code (students' device compatibility). Hence, the password effectively substitutes code scanning when their cameras fail to capture the code. In our context, the rotated passwords and QR codes are needed.
thanks - happy for someone to add this back in a Pull request, but it needs to display nicely - not just tacked onto the bottom of the page.
I agree it would be nice for teachers to have an option to display password even when rotating QR code. It can be one more checkbox in add session options. This would also allow students to mark attendance using mobile app.
