KeyStore password defaults to System.Char[]

[fekberg]

Xamarin.Auth Issue

The hardcoded password isn't used with the default constructor.

When you do ToString() on a char-array, it gives you the text System.Char[].

You'd have to do new string(PasswordHardCoded), or string.Join, however, this will break backwards compatibility and it should migrate to the default password (if that option should still exist)

@fekberg The issue with the Tostring() appears to be a mono issue, rather than a Xamarin.Auth issue.

I've assigned @moljac to look into it for you

@newky2k No, doing ToString on a char[] is incorrect.

See here as well: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1324009/net-c-sharp-convert-char-to-string

Try it out using either mono or roslyn. Should definitely return "System.Char[]" as a string and not the actual content.

@newky2k Any update?

@fekberg I have assigned this issue to @moljac for him to investigate

We're working on a fix for this and should have it ready very soon.

@fekberg I'm looking into this now, It appears that Xamarin.Auth was changed to use new string(PasswordHardCoded) in this commit -> https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Auth/commit/f529702f8ba66712d4842dc19e614c6f5be8f260#diff-a69956567d5f7649f40fae8df21be687R53

I'm looking into the migration from the 'System.Char[]' to the content of PasswordHardCoded instead now.

Thank you for your patience
