Bug Description
When entering the password to login into the online gaming lobby, this text is displayed:
WARNING: Password will be shown and saved readable!
(In src/wui/
This is no longer quite correct: The password will be shown readable but the password is no longer saved readable. However, it is not really stored securely and can also easily be used to login the user on another system if stolen.
So ... basically I am not sure whether we should change the text since it is incorrect or leave it as it is since it isn't really stored securely and the warning isn't doing any harm. Any opinions?
To post a comment you must log in.
Since the store isn't secure, we should still have a warning there. Since it's not stored securely, I'm OK with it not being 100% accurate - it will make people err on the side of caution.
Do you have any ideas on ow to make the passwords actually secure? If so, implementing UI support for replacing the password's characters with **** would be a good thing to aim for for Build 21.
