Feature Request: Mask values to hide sensitive keys #32

@Garbee

Description

@Garbee

What version of EnvPane are you using. Did you download the official release or
did you build it yourself?

0.6 downloaded from the releases on Github.

What version of OS X are you using (or attempting to use) EnvPane on?

Catalina version 10.15.7

Did you install EnvPane for the current user only or for all users? I admit,
that's a bit of a trick question.

Current user only (as required for it to work, I see the trick. 😄 )

Did you install EnvPane as an administrative user?

Yes my user is an admin and it asked for the password during install as I recall.

Can you provide relevant system.log messages?

Feature request, logs not needed.


Env Pane is a super nifty tool to easily manage env variables. My only concern is that the values are shown by default as fully as they can be. This means if someone is screen recording or sharing then the values could be leaked in full. Rather than doing a per-item toggle or password protect the whole entry (as #8 requested) it might be best to do all values as masked inputs. Then add a toggle for going between masked/cleartext mode to the right of each row.

This would allow all values to be safe, while only exposing those which you want to show for demonstration or educational purposes.
