Description Michael Hill 2011-04-15 23:03:51 UTC
I've added a password hint: how is it invoked? It will be referenced in a few of the user docs.
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2011-04-18 03:50:30 UTC
The gdm part is not implemented yet. See bug 643445
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2013-04-23 12:50:18 UTC
It's currently disabled in the Settings, as it's not implemented in gdm/gnome-shell.

user-accounts: Allow to set up a password reminder

When setting up user password, allow to set up also a password reminder phrase,
that can be used to remind the user what is the password.

Review of attachment 356605 [details] [review]:

Is there any reason to use "Reminder" instead of "Hint"? "Hint" is also used in GDM patches and was used here earlier. I suppose that also some labels with description are needed. The changes need to be discussed with designers. The code looks good otherwise, however, still needs to wait for Bug 643445.

Maybe just "Hint", "Reminder" would be enough here.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2021-06-09 16:29:49 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new bug report at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
