ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Oliver Beard 2026-01-14 15:51:15 UTC
SDDM Breeze theme does not either. KScreenLocker does, so we should reference that implementation and make both consistent with Users KCM where the button also has a ToolTip and highlight.

frontend/greeter: Re-enable reveal password action

This was previously disabled as SDDM did not have Breeze icons available. We do not have this limitation.

Changes also made to sync showPassword state between greeters.
