The password text edit is empty unless you have just entered a password. This is confusing as you might think the password has been wiped. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set a user's password 2. Password text edit will display dots for the letters you have entered 3. select another user then go back to the original user Actual Results: text edit is empty Expected Results: dots should be shown If you don't want to show the dots (it gives away the number of characters in the password) then just make it a button.
Note that KDE has a global setting for showing none, one, or three dots for each password character, so the user can already decide.
I don't get this bug, if you switch the user all data you introduced is reset as you point in this other bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328662. Are they duplicates then?
If you can provide the information requested in comment #2, please add it.
Closing bug for lack of feedback. Please if you are still able to reproduce this bug re-open it!
Still a problem.

Git commit 52ea204e39d5160d72066a573ec180baff4b0b63 by Méven Car. Committed on 23/08/2019 at 14:23. Pushed by meven into branch 'master'. Replace the PasswordEdit field by a changePassword QPushButton, remove foreach uses Summary: The current behavior to change password is quite unfriendly to say the least. Clicking in a line field to open a dialog is not logical. Replace this with a much simpler button leading to the dialog.
