Password additional

Sat Apr 06, 2019 8:33 pm

Thanks for the latest update.
I especially like the 'new' "Show Password" item, much needed for people like me.
However, as an 'extra' measure of security, when the 'mouse over to reveal' occurs, could not a box asking for a "Master Password" be shown, this password then inserted and then and only then the original password is revealed?
Appreciate your observations and advice.
Thanks

Hi there

We've considered that kind of feature in the past, but then we'd run into situations where those passwords would need to be managed, can be easily forgotten etc..
I would instead recommend placing a password on your main user logon if you haven't already, that's a better mechanism in my view for having a master password to access the machine.

Hi,
Thanks for the swift reply - appreciated.
Not being a 'techi' it's all as clear as mud to me, but as you have the technical background to understand these thing I accept your suggestion.
Would have been nice though.
Many thanks for putting me straight.
Keep the good work going.
