@loke@functional.cafe @hakfoo@mstdn.party @neilsardesai@mastodon.social I mean if an attacker is allowed to observe your screen, a conventional password input field will leak the length of the password. Perhaps the Lotus Notes version would leak less information? I don't know; it's been so long since I saw that.

@kccqzy@techhub.social @hakfoo@mstdn.party @neilsardesai@mastodon.social it leaks more, if the attacker can remember the patterns. The pattern changes for each keyless, so if they later try to recreate it, they can find the password by finding the first character that generates the desired pattern, then move on to the next pattern until the password is revealed.
