@FSchumacher commented on GitHub (Mar 26, 2024):

If you use some special characters like _ or * after a <, those characters will not be displayed either.
It seems, that > is an active character, too.

So the password a<_<1<*<m<><%>q will be displayed as a1mq.
All characters of the passwordwill be shown in edit mode, though.

Good, a bug report for this already exists. It almost drove me crazy entering a password exactly as it was displayed and it was not being accepted, because it tas displayed wrong. I had to copy and paste elsewhere to view the password and realise what was happening.

Just logged some info on #3256 before I found this bug. This one's more similar to what I'm experiencing.

One other thing I noted is that copy/paste contains the full password, so it's only displaying incorrectly, thankfully minimising the impact!

Just to add more fuel to this fire, I wanted to say that I also am experiencing this issue. This is a not-insignificant defect, since sometimes:

  • auto-fill doesn't work
  • you can't paste into the password field

And so, you have to look at the password and pain-fill the field.

Any clue as to when this will be resolved? The issue was opened three months ago, and was reported to the engineering team a day after opening.
