Not just the selected release - 25.2.2.2, but for pretty much every release I have used. I have many password-protected files. Writer, Calc, etc When I am opening one of these files, I often fat-finger a typo, and then have to wait and wait for the file to be decrypted, only to be told that I have entered the wrong password. A) Why not tell me right from the start that the password is wrong, rather than making me wait and wait? B) MORE IMPORTANT: Please add some way to view the password I have entered before I click the login button. Every password manager I have used recently has this. This is even more sensitive than LibreOffice docs, because it gives access to almost every web site I have logged into in the past 8+ years. And for many phone apps as well. Also many web sites also offer this. Also smart-phone offer this, too.. But not LibreOffice??? This is very much behind the times.
Changed importance to Enchancement I would also be in favor of this change.
Sure thing. I suggest a non-sticky button, ie. only while the mouse is pressed it shows the clear text (rather than an on/off toggle). The other issue needs dev review.
+1, and do we have appropriate icon to use--typically an "open eye" motif, or alternatively a "pad lock" motif to use as a toggle/exposure button. There is the lowres hidepass.png for the eye motif in Colibre. Or maybe better one of the locked/unlocked sets [1]? =-ref-= [1] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/160460

Consider you need to arrow over to just one character/symbol to insert or replace. Hard to do if you cannot see. Perhaps a time-out after a certain amount of inactivity instead?
Already done in bug 146947 for 25.8 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 146947 ***
