What happened?

On my computer, this issue occurs in both Waterfox Classic 2022.11 and Waterfox Current 5.1. At the following login screen, When entering the pin number, the text box displays the numbers rather than the Astrix. This does not happen in Edge, Firefox, or degoogled chromium.

Seems normal on linux. Probably just a windows problem.

It shows asterisks (dots, actually) for me on G5.1.2 / Windows 11.

It might be worth mentioning that the website has a custom implementation (so to speak) of these dots, it doesn't let the browser handle it.

They do it via a custom font instead, which means if your browser can't display the font properly (e.g. the download is blocked, maybe by an extension) then it will not show the asterisks.

The font is SecureFont and the file it's loading is secureFont.woff

It's good that you got it figured out 😄 That's a horrible implementation on a website, lol
