A friend of mine was in a situation where they were reading out a password to a physical device but could not tell the difference between capital and lowercase letters when displaying the password.
with a little context, it was possible to figure out what the issue was but I had thought that the password visibility option should distinguish between each class of character.
Looking at the code I found that it classifies each character as three or 4 different classes
- letter = default(white or black depending on theme)
- number = Blue
- symbol = red
- and Emoji
My feature request is simple, add another class for uppercase letters that would help distinguish between upper and lower case letters at a glance.
I have produced a PR it GitHub (#5136) with the code changed to get the below result in the UI. This adds a class for Upper case letters between A and Z and colors them Green.
A few issues:
- What color should upper case letters be, given not all people preserve colors the same way?
- Would it make more sense to use something like an underline or a bold; or might that confuse the issue?
