Description Irma Birchall 2010-07-13 04:51:59 UTC
Patrons do not wish their new password visible to bystanders. Type of HTML input field should be password, not text. However this interacts with the "suggested password" feature so either this would be deprecated, or provided in some other way.

Does this refer to the "change password" feature in the staff client? The assumption is that the staff client screen is private. Besides breaking the suggested password feature, you would also have to add a "re-type password" field to ensure accurate typing.

If you want this enhancement now, it can be done by adding code to the intranetuserjs system preference:

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#newpassword").parent().append("<input type=\"password\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" id=\"newpassword\" name=\"newpassword\">").end().remove();
});

Passwords are no longer visible and have to be retyped a second time when setting or resetting them.
