[Feature] Hide password icon

[lonix1]

Very often the password button is superimposed on a password field's "reveal" button (the one that looks like an eye, which when clicked, shows the password as text rather than dots).

In such cases one cannot use the reveal button.

Please allow us to temporarily hide the password button somehow.

(I'm unsure how; perhaps if the mouse is over the password button and "shift" is depressed, then the button is hidden. Is it possible in JS to detect that a control key is pressed on its own?)

I've been encountering this a fair amount as well (maybe several times per week).

Workaround: in the browser's developer tools (e.g., inspect element), change the password's <input> element's type property from password to anything else, or remove it altogether. Here's a GIF showing how (alas, I did it on a page where there were no "eye" and "key" icons):

Yes I often resort to such hacks too. What I typically do is remove KP's password button from the DOM.

Really frustrating, but glad I'm not the only one! 😆

I would propose to be able to set an offset (from the right) for the icon. I'm in the situation where I have multiple password manager plugins, which use the same location for the icon. Having an offset could show the icon next to another.

We already support setting an offset with the icon. It's not configurable by user, but we use a predefined list for those pages.

[rondie]

Being able to add to that list sounds like a viable solution instead of hiding the icon.

Where is it set right now? (even though I probably can't change it)

@rondie We do it here: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-browser/blob/develop/keepassxc-browser/common/sites.js#L236
So it's not a big thing to add a new site to the list, but you'll have to wait for the next release.

An offset just replaces one problem with another. And who decides what the offset should be? And if some arbitrary pixel value is chosen and it's no good, users will complain that it overlaps something else. So the solution would be to let users define it. And then the user would need to define it for all sites! And so the problem continues...

Conclusion: an offset is nice, but hiding the icon is better. And if both approaches are available, even better.

@lonix1 I'm all in for having a way to hide the icon :)
