iPhone Feature Idea: fill screen with password in landscape

You're at a public computer and need to type in a password. Search for login on iPhone. Tap password to reveal. Rotating iPhone to landscape could make the password fill the whole screen so that you can set down your iPhone and easily read it as you touch type with two hands; instead of holding your iPhone in one hand and peck typing with the other hand. This might be a rare use case scenario but these are the details that make users love using an app.

    Hi @Leo Vogel‌,

    It is an interesting idea. The problem with making it so visible is that you're also risking it with "shoulder surfers", people who are next to you or behind you can see it as well, plus security cameras can capture it.

    However, I will add your vote to our existing request in our tracker as a few users have requested this already. Basically, in addition to Copy and Reveal options when you tap on your password, add Large Type to reveal the characters in large font like you suggested.

    Thanks for sharing your request with us.
