Disable audio feedback when in Password Mode #1039

Closed GitSquared closed 3 years ago

cf: #1038 @schuelermine

With sound enabled, a recording of you typing your password tells the attacker how long your password is.

On at least OS X 10.13.6, this currently doesn't work. When using sudo, the keyboard shows the password characters I'm typing and beeps.

schuelermine commented 3 years ago

are you in password mode? you need to enable it explicitly, it does not get activated whenever sudo is used.

I was unaware of it. How does one enable it?

@pyrocto the default shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+P to toggle it on/off.
