Description Stef Walter 2011-06-14 17:36:35 UTC 
On mobile devices in GTK we show the last character of the password field being typed as clear text. This makes it easy to type passwords on unreliable keyboards such as onscreen or small devices.

ClutterText needs to support this for the password prompts in gnome-shell.

settings: Add password-hint-time property

Add a setting that controls whether ClutterText actors in password mode
should display the last input character for a defined time. This helps
on touch-based interfaces.

A ClutterText in password mode should have the ability to show the last
input character. This feature allows easier password entry on platforms
with unreliable keyboards, such as touchscreens or small devices.
