Description: When opening an encrypted document, such as a spreadsheet, LibreOffice prompts for the password/passphrase to decrypt it. This is nice, but I have some documents where the passphrase is really long and I tend to misstype quite often. I would like to have a togglebutton (or checkbox, or GtkSwitch) in that password prompt that I can click to let the characters be plainly visible, when I know that I'm in a safe environment (i.e.: nobody looking over the shoulder, no screencasting/recording going on, not giving a presentation in a conference, etc.). I'd be OK (and would recommend, in fact) with that toggle's state being off by default, so I would have to turn it on each time. Steps to Reproduce: Try to open an encrypted document. Actual Results: Characters are obscured by dots Expected Results: Being able to see the plain characters, if desired. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: A button to allow seeing the characters as I type them.
Agree that this would be a welcome enhancement, and could possibly be an accessibility issue for users requiring more visual feedback. Some useful information for best implementation: https://incl.ca/show-hide-password-accessibility-and-password-hints-tutorial/
