👀 Hide sensitive data

[reneaaron]

Imagine this scenario. The user is in a public place, and they need to make a payment using their bitcoin wallet. They open the wallet on their phone, but they don’t feel comfortable having their address and balance information clearly visible to strangers who may be looking over their shoulder, persons lurking, or video surveillance. Hence by giving users the ability to hide sensitive information in their wallet, but only when desired, they gain an added sense of physical privacy and security when using the app in public.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think we could take quite a lot from the Bitcoin Design Guide.

• Hide the total balance by default
• Give an option to unhide

To discuss:

• Do we want to hide the transaction data, too?

Are you working on this?

No.

A year late, but if folks would like a design for this I can work on it!

Here are the designs and the Figma link. I also wasn't able to find an "invisible" state of the visibility icon so I quickly just put a line over the existing icon.
