'Show password'

[Info1]

Hi

I'm not happy that there is a 'show password' option when I sign into sensitive websites (it seems to negate the whole point of a password in the first place). Is it possible for this option to be removed in case my phone falls into the wrong hands. Thanks in adavance!

All I can suggest is that @Toby feeds this back to the web team.

Where exactly is the option?

When  signing into a website such as ebay there is a 'show password' tick box which enables you to see what you are typing. However, if your phone has remembered the password already ticking this box displays the full password. I would like that facility to be disabled

I get that but is this an O2 thing? I get the same using a Thai sim card in a non branded phone. That's all to do with the browser you are using and allowing it to remember passwords surely??

Hi @Info1,

Welcome to the community!

I'm not sure if this is something that we can help with, as each site has its own rules and sign-in process. Have a look on your device's settings and see if you have any options to further protect your private info.
