Show character count for passwords on mobile apps (useful with masked passwords)

In the extension for desktop browsers, the password field contains an extension, a character counter, which is especially useful for masked passwords:

Unfortunately, the Android application does not have this very useful functionality. Therefore, when I want to enter the password to the masked fields, I have to find a place outside the range of the cameras and there, on a piece of paper, draw a table with numbered cells and then enter the passwords to them. After logging in correctly, the card must be destroyed, preferably by burning it and stepping on it. I believe this is a difficulty that many people have already encountered and therefore I suggest adding a character counter to the password field in your android app.

On web there’s an useful feature called “Show character count” that helps with the masked passwords.
Unfortunately mobile app lacks this functionality.
It would be nice to have it there as well.

Here’s the feature I’m talking about:

@barat Welcome to the forum!

Thanks. I’m surprised since I tried to use the search before making a thread.
BTW. I’m advocating for iOS implementation for that thingy.

Really user-hostile forum app for Android users.

I was trying to ask if there was a way to display the numerical position of each of the password characters?

Very often I am asked to give the password character in positions x y and z when contacting some banks, building societies etc.

PITA trying to count along a 16-20 character password and picking out the correct characters !:thinking:

@Bitname, The feature you’ve suggested already has its own feature request thread (this one), so I have moved your comment here. Once you’ve spent a sufficient amount of time on the forum that your forum membership level advances from “new user” to “basic user”, you will have the ability to vote for this feature.
