Add verification code #11

Closed alien0matic closed 9 years ago

alien0matic commented 9 years ago

It is pretty easy to misstype the masterpassword and get the wrong passwords if you've choosen to hide the passwords. It would be good if there would be a verification code (a generated password, that is readable, but the rest is hidden) to know that the correct masterpassword has been entered.

There is an option to verify the master password at login. I know what you're after, but for now you can use this as a workaround.

But that way the password will be stored, which makes one of the points of masterpassword obsolete.

dkunzler commented 9 years ago

As I said, I know what you're really after, and I think about implementing it, since it is a nice idea to have such a mechanism.

By the way, only a hash of the password is stored, but yes it decreases security.

Implemented with nice graphics on the login screen. Version 1.5.2
