Hide passwords in edit dialog

Closed this issue · 1 comments

I propose this way:
When you open the dialog the password is not visible:

Entering a password or(!) clicking the generate new password button shows the input/generated password hidden:

Clicking the eye-button shows the password (when there is text in the input):

If there is no text and the button is pressed, the old password will be shown in plain.

Whenever the eye-button is clicked it changes to a hide button and clicking it changes the input to a password input so that the password is hidden again.

There is one issue though. This won't work anymore:

Should we introduce an additional button that get's you the old password back or should the hint be shown on the dismiss button?

That's a good question yeah !
Maybe a third button would be easier to understand for someone who doesn't know how it works.

Seeing the old password seems important to me.
