In Webmin/Virtualmin, when editing a virtual server account, there is a field that displays the database password in plain text. This password should be hidden by default and only revealed when clicking an eye icon (show/hide password).
Displaying the password openly poses a security risk, especially in shared administrative environments. Is there a way to change this behavior, or could it be improved in a future update?
but TBF I have never used this section in over a decade, I have never found a reason to do it. But I guess if you have given the root password to someone, you may wish to change it.
I would guess the best practice is to use the virtualmin module to change the user password, if you have given someone the user password
For me, the password is shown by default. When I click the “eye” icon, it gets hidden. It seems to be reversed. Ideally, the password should be hidden at first and only shown when clicking the “eye” icon.
