VinceN Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I've noticed that a lot of areas in the website (Particularly on the install screen) show the ASCII characters instead of the usual *** marks when entering passwords.Might want to change that over as that seems to be standard security practice.

Administrators Nabeel Posted April 13, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I just had it on the install screen so you're able to tell it's correct, since it's a one-time entry for the database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceN Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Might I suggest instead that you have a "Confirm" field for passwords. Enter it once then enter it again and do a check to see if they were entered the same both times.I'm not sure I'm comfortable that anyone glancing at my screen can see the password I'm typing in, one time or not.

Administrators Nabeel Posted April 14, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 For the database installer, or the site setup page? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceN Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Anywhere there is a password it should use the ***** entry method. Any time a password is being entered for the first time or changed you should need to enter it twice to make sure its right.That seems to be the standard practice from my experience.

Administrators Nabeel Posted April 16, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yeah, it's this way for everywhere, except the installer.I'll change it. Most installers I've used leave the database password open, since those are complex.I'll be changing them for one of the next builds though.
