Show password (large) not working

For clarification, the bug is still before the team. My apologies for the continued trouble.

Thanks loggor for the assist. OT, I like the new avatar. The older one was way cool too.

@Navarion I think it's better explained here with 1P_Tommy comment and the screenshot I sent

@Navarion Bug is not fixed as far as I know. The workaround is to set the scale to 100% through the menu, and after that, you zoom in on the interface with the Ctrl +. This should let you use the Show Large normally.

Hi all,

is there any update to this bug? i have it now for a while and its annoying. Ctrl+ does zoom in but is of course not the same as show in Large Type since that one shows also a grid with password lengthe and differentiation between different characters if numeric or not. It was a very nice and usefull feature but i have not seen it on my Win11 machine for ages now. Using 100% scale. I using occasionly multimonitor (2x38") most of the time only single though. I know from other apps that sometimes the apps have issues to remember the right monitor and position the new windows that has been opened and using this feature opens a new window that you can move around. Could it be that its related to that? means showing the window maybe outside normal resolution parameters? As said know this from other apps - though usually older style.

Thank you so much for that. I can reliably reproduce this using the steps you mentioned. Pardon me, I've got to get a video of this recorded for the team right now. This one has been on my personal needs fixing list for sometime now. I'd love to see the team squash this one for good. This could explain why sometimes it's harder to replicate as not everyone uses the same method sort of thing. I personally always use (Cmd +/-/0, Mac) Or (Ctrl +/-/0 Windows) I default to using those as it also works with browser windows. I would expect you're accustomed to the same. Anyway, off I go. Nice find. I commend you for this! Hopefully, it leads to a full resolution.

1P_Tommy Adding a new thing about this that I just noticed. Using the shortcut to zoom (Ctrl +) doesn't bug the show password. But if you zoom by going through the settings menu, it bugs it.

Thanks folks I've made note of this internally.

I use mine at 110%

vidario you are correct, it works when the zoom is at 100%. 1P_Tommy
