I tend not to see this as a security issue.
1) The list is deleted every time OOo restarts.
2) Of course the algorithm cannot make a difference between "this is a password
and this is not"
3) we cannot warn the user every time he types a word: "this word has been added
in to word completion"
The only thing we could do is like browsers do when entering something the first
time in a form: "Do you want to activate the Word completion...[Details]...
Yes/Never/Remind me later".
And this is an enhancement.
Pro: more awareness about this feature.
Cons: we usually switch features ON in order them to be used. But the warning
would give the awareness we want to have.
@urttakkadigakku, allow me some remarks:
- that's not a very good practice to write down your passwords...
- It means that the first 3 letters of 1 of your passwords are the first 3
letters of a common word (else you wouldn't have been sooo surprised to see your
password) ;) -> bad
- At least it means that your password is >= 10 characters (default for
triggering the word completion) -> good :)
