Feature request: copy generated password in MMM #1176

Closed warrenc5 closed 1 year ago

warrenc5 commented 1 year ago

Copy new password to clipboard in management mode.

Justification

When modifying a credential in management mode using the generator - the use case is typically

  1. generate the password
  2. test the password in the website for all their stupid validation rules ( no Ms in passwords generated on Mondays :)
  3. save the password to the device.

Unfortunately I can see the newly generated password but can't select it to copy it into the x buffer/clipboard. Secondly if I have not pressed the "eye" show and then press fill to see the new password I only see ***** as I haven't pressed the eye and approved on the device to send the old password.

Workarounds

  1. press the eye to see the old password
  2. generate a new password
  3. press fill
  4. copy the password from the password text box
  5. try the new password in the stupid website ( actually a router configuration page so can't really use the browser plugin here)
  6. save the password if it works or generate a new one or discard by clicking cancel in the moolticute app.

I know it seems like a little thing here. But the problem is it requires the user to perform a mental chess game to get it in. Where the use case scenario could be more flowable here.

hello! stupid question: why don't you use the extension password generation? :)

Unfort - Limpkin in this situation - I can't - as it's on a routers web management console - that's not even a password text field. + it has stupid password validation rules - so not every generated password works. :(

At the minimum I would just want to select that new generated password text from moolticute to copy it into the mouse/xbuffer (before adding/changing it on the service account).

Forgive my basic UI terms - At the moment it seems to be an 'unselectable label' - where as I really need it as an 'uneditable text field'.

Ps. There's no such thing as stupid questions - only stupid people :) :) :)
