2 years ago Hi @ldexterldesign - I personally don't have any issues reading passwords in the mobile font, but can understand that having better typography would reduce mistakes and frustrations for users with very complex passwords (or those with ambiguous characters like in your example).
Right now I've not installed any custom font, so I'd need to do so for it to work on mobile. Firstly, I'd need to find a font that allows for easy reading. Honestly I doubt there are too many that are more easily readable over the built-in monospace font we're using now, but I'd like to see suggestions. Colours can help differentiate digits from alphabetic characters, but IiLl is still an issue.
Overall it'd be bit of work, so the solution should be worthwhile in terms of improvement imo.

I'm regularly confused, specifically on mobile where it's not as easy as desktop to resolve, about whether it's a "1" (i.e. numeral one) or a "l" (i.e. lowercase L) 😕

Personally, I just think they're too similar - perhaps there's a font with extra glyphs (e.g. I always underline my numerals when I write them to give some additional affordance)..?

Welcome feedback/input
