Show/Hide Password

Is it possible to have a show/hide password function in a disabled input field?

I want the user to be able to see their password so that they don't have to reset the password in their Account Overview page.

Thanks for any feedback!

This is possible, technically. But I think this is not a good practice as the password will still be fetched from the databases and stored in the browser, which is dangerous.

But on second thought, some systems will actually encrypt the password when it's stored in the database. The readable text will be encoded as a hash, a set of strings. So, I don't think this can be fetched for your hide/show purposes.

You have a variety of options to reset the password http://code.openark.org/blog/mysql/recovering-a-mysql-root-password-the-fourth-solution UPD: Following the Max's advice let me elaborate. The easiest way to reset any password is to restart MySQL with skip-grant-tables in my.cnf. Then MySQL won't ask the password. To set new password execute this: mysql -e "UPDATE mysql.user SET password = PASSWORD('newpassword') WHERE user = 'root' and host = ''" where is host where user connects form. Then restart MySQL again, but without skip-grant-tables option.

There's nothing in principle.from Crypto.Cipher import AES from Crypto.Util.Padding import pad, unpad import ast entered_key = "123456" generated_password = "QwErTyПаРоЛь" cipher = AES.new(pad(entered_key.encode('utf-8'), AES.block_size), AES.MODE_ECB) psw = str(cipher.encrypt(pad(generated_password.encode('utf-8'), AES.block_size))) input = f"resource^login^{psw}" проворачиваем фарш назад :) ppp = input.split("^", 2)[2] decoded_ppp = ast.literal_eval(ppp) stored_password = unpad(cipher.decrypt(decoded_ppp), AES.block_size).decode('utf-8') print(stored_password) But it's easier to keep it through the sixteenth performance.... psw = cipher.encrypt(pad(generated_password.encode('utf-8'), AES.block_size)).hex() input = f"resource^login^{psw}" ppp = input.split("^", 2)[2] decoded_ppp = bytes.fromhex(ppp) ...

Well technically I don't think you need to actually setup a Google account right away. So what I would recommend is skipping the part of the setup process where you setup a Google account and then use a built in app to retrieve it (SMS, copy a file onto your phone or any method to read text). Other than that I think the best thing would be to just temporarily change your Google password for a few minutes, than change it back right after (once you have methods to get the new password onto the phone without typing)

I can think of two approaches you might try: 1. Use a Filter. Show all of the options that the business can do, and then let the user filter by brand. Hide the unavailable options rather than showing disabled - a disabled state implies that the user or system can do something that might enable them somehow, and this isn't the case. 2. Use Progressive Disclosure. Before showing any options, have the user select their brand first, then show the list. The better option is going to depend on why the user is on your page. Are they trying to book an appointment and just need to complete that one task (this sounds like the case)? Progressive Disclosure will help them stay focused. Are they generally looking at what your company does in order to decide whether you're a reliable business for many future needs? It might be better to start with the big list and let the user engage filters several times.

I believe that you could refer on this question on security StackExchange for some statistics: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/6682/passwords-any-statistics-on-user-behavior You may also go here at https://passwordresearch.com to check some helpful password statistics.

By all means, Preview means to show what user will see when they act on. It's like a final rehearsal before doing the actual action. If Preview is missing some elements, it misses the point. What if buttons don't look like user wanted? Or located not where they wanted? Or named not like they wanted? Yes, they have no means to change that, but giving them a hint of how the final form will look like is a good UX practice. And the buttons should not be grayed out or somehow else visually affected. We want the preview to be a carbon copy of actual form. If you like to look at an example of a good preview, try Facebook ads. You will see your ad as other users will. There are all kinds of buttons, images etc, but none of them are clickable.

There is a special standard for the generation of high unique pseudo-service identifiers: https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUID ♪ Although theoretical identifiers may be repetitive in this standard, in practice, you boldly consider them unique.PHP has a library that is already ready to implement this standard: https://github.com/ramsey/uuid ♪ That's how it can be used:$uuid = \Ramsey\Uuid\Uuid::uuid4(); echo $uuid; // 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

In my oppinion the optimal workflow would be to let the user choose a timespan he wants the report for and then either via dropdown or radiobuttons choose wheather they are monthly, weekly or daily. Date fields should be filled out with the current date per default. As for the two other radiobuttons I do not know your databasis but "inspection conducted" and "kg harvested" look a lot like informations that come out of a database and should be in the report and not in the form where the report is generated. Unless, ofcourse you are saving individual reports and just want to indicate that these two things have been done. Anyway, my form suggestion:

It actually suffixes the password with the username and then MD5 hash is made out of that, and that hash is then prefixed with 'md5'

It sounds like log_statement is set to all. If you wish to prevent passwords from appearing in the logs while log_statement is set to a value that captures ALTER USER / ALTER ROLE then you'll want to override that when changing passwords. e.g. BEGIN; SET LOCAL log_statement = 'none'; ALTER USER ... SET PASSWORD ...; COMMIT; You must be a superuser to do this. Normal users cannot override logging rules. It would be nice if PostgreSQL supported flagging some parameters to statements (or even functions) as security-sensitive and allowed users to request that they be masked in logs, pg_stat_statements, pg_stat_activity, etc. There is not currently any such feature - but hey, patches are welcome. If you're genuinely interested, post on pgsql-hackers before writing any actual code so you can get advice and comments, though. Alternately, speak to someone who does contract development. In general PostgreSQL expects you to treat the logs as sensitive. There are other areas where logging is a serious security concern. For example some of the pgcrypto functions take crypto keys as parameters.

One way you can simplify this process is to think of it as a process. Enter user's id Input data for form for selected user download bmml source – Wireframes created with Balsamiq Mockups Using an autocomplete here will be helpful for people to enter IDs and correlate them to the user name quickly. Separating the step of entering IDs first will ensure that the form will have a correct ID input. Alternatively if you allow the autocomplete to do a lookup on name or ID it could be an added benefit. download bmml source

1. In the properties of the textbox (on the panel, designer Form1 (most likely) textBox_TextChanged, give the name of the function and press enter 2. Put your password in your body. if(textBox1.text == password) // password переменная типа string которая хранит пароль //грузим форму 2(ту которую хотим загрузить) UPD: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.textchanged(v=vs.110).aspx documentation

The button should show the action that will be executed when the user clicks it. In this case, the second option. It is not necessary to show the current state here, because it is already obvious by the password being hidden or shown. If it was not a button with an action but an icon to show the current state, then the first option would be better.
