Description DragonLichcz 2016-11-07 08:38:03 UTC 
When you are typing password in GDM and especially when you are using SHIFT for the last letters, you could press Shift+Enter and Enter by accident to show your password in plaintext. This could happen even more when you are in a rush.

Could you please change the Shift+Enter shortcut to something else, something which is not used when you are typing passwords, like Ctrl, Alt.
