Standardize Password Concealment Across All Platforms

Currently, Bitwarden handles password concealment inconsistently across platforms:

  • On the Windows desktop app, concealed passwords always display as six dots (••••••), regardless of length. This prevents someone from deducing password length.
  • On the Android app and browser extension, concealed passwords match the actual length (e.g., a 12-character password shows 12 dots), which could unintentionally reveal information about the password.

For consistency and security, I propose that Bitwarden adopt a unified approach across all platforms—using a fixed number of dots (e.g., six) instead of reflecting the actual password length.

@abishekh_kc Hey, actually, there is a recent bug report to that (mainly for the browser extension, but the issues seems to be in the web vault as well):

As a Bitwarden employee already answered there, they do seem to see it as a bug. So it probably should be reported for Android as well. - If someone can check it, would be interesting to know if it’s the same on the iOS app (and then it should be reported as well).
