** Description changed:
- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/408
+ [Impact]
+ Sessions in specific circumstances when switching to TTY while plymouth is
being activated or deactivated.
+
+ [Test cases]
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1) Log-in using X11 login via GDM.
+ 2) Use the desktop for a while. (For some reason I cannot reproduce if I
login and then restart after a short while).
+ 3) In Gnome click System menu -> Power Button -> Restart
+ 4) Quickly press CTRL-ALT-F1
+
+ Validate whether your login password is visible on the TTY.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Possible regressions may include difficulty showing text-mode splash or boot
messages given that this changes the state of tty based on plymouth's own
activation state.

- I don't which package this applies to, but I believe the best bet is
- GDM.

5) I see my login password in plain text in the console. Once I saw the
login password repeated twice.
See attached photo with the login password blanked out. Below the
password is the console cursor.
