Keepass2android: [Enhancement] Consistent use of password font.

Created on 12 Jun 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: PhilippC/keepass2android

As of 1.04b, the password font (DejaVu Sans Mono) is used when viewing stored passwords, but when editing, creating or generating passwords, KP2A falls back to some default UI font, in which I, l, 0, O etc. are much harder to tell apart. Consistent use of DejaVu Mono, whenever a password is shown, would, I think, make certain user errors less likely, such as, for example, misreading a newly generated password and thus sign up somewhere with a different password than what actually gets stored in the KP2A database.

Personally, I'd be ok with the entire UI using DejaVu, but that might break certain style guides.

Just came to post this bug! Please fix to font that is clear what each letter/number is (ideally one where ZERO has a dot or slash in the middle of it). It's also strange to me that they are two different fonts too... why not use the same font in both screens?!

I've also run in to this issue.

Personally I'm still finding it hard to distinguish between zero 0 and capital oh O in the displayed password

Please update font
