GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 643445
Implement password hints
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:17:53 UTC
We have UI for these in the user accounts panel.
Will GNOME 3.8 have password hints? If not then the option to set the password hint should really be removed from the control panel....
Created attachment 236895 [details] [review] remove password hint from UI Leaves a bit of blank space, so could be done better, but should be acceptable for 3.8. I don't know how to get rid of it without using Glade, and I don't know how to use Glade without removing the password strength bar. (If GDM has gotten password hints in 3.8, then obviously this should be rejected.)
Review of attachment 236895 [details] [review]: Thanks for the patch, however the patch is missing all the code changes, in addition to not removing the extraneous row.

I did not notice that there was already a bug opened and attached my patches for this to bug 785599 -- let me fix that.
Created attachment 356616 [details] [review] authPrompt: implement password hint feature This commit uses the accountservices API to display the password hint in GDM, if one was set.

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 ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
