[jira] Commented: (TAPESTRY-2637) Add a parameter to PasswordField
component to populate the password value
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-2637?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12627944#action_12627944 ]
Martijn Brinkers commented on TAPESTRY-2637:
--------------------------------------------
It would be nice if a "reveal password" button could be added as well. By default the password will be show with stars '*' but when the button 'reveal password' is pressed the password will be show.

Although this indeed represents best practices in handling passwords (e.g. if the password field did display its value although masked, it would still be visible in the source), the current behavior stumps new users and unnecessarily enforces a particular process (e.g. never display the password) or forces a user to split page containing the password field (e.g. what would have other in orderwise been a single page to create and update a value, now has to be two different pages) to avoid validation issues.
> The requested parameter (e.g. "displayValue") would contain a warning in bold that displaying the password value could be a security issue (and potentially log a warning). The default value of the parameter should be "false", that is it wouldn't display the password, unless explicitly enabled.

Re: [jira] Commented: (TAPESTRY-2637) Add a parameter to
PasswordField component to populate the password value
Posted by marcanti <ma...@yahoo.com>.
It is really annoying that the password value is not rendered, f.ex when in
the registration page, some other input is not valid, the user has to
re-enter the passwords.
It should be up to the developer to judge wheater to render the password
value or not. We developers like freedom and hate to be imposed certain
unnecessary limitations. So a boolean parameter should be added to the
PasswordField component to allow for the value to be rendered.
