"Generate new password for this user name" button shouldn't be listed for legacy passwords #39

Closed kzar closed 8 years ago

So that a new password can be generated for a record without changing its user name or other details we have a revision field. The "Generate new password for this user name" button allows the revision to be conveniently adjusted for a record.

Since the revision field serves no purpose for legacy passwords it seems wrong to display the "Generate new password for this user name" button for them.

No, having this button for legacy passwords is intentional - e.g. you might want to replace a legacy password with a generated one, this button will generate a password with default parameters and revision number 2. So unless this doesn't work correctly this issue is invalid.

Ah right, sorry I assumed it would bump the revision of the existing password.
