Thats not what the guy wrote. He said that it was showing on screen in an error dialog. The problem seems to be that the password is requested from the user and then kept in memory to be passed to specific tools that do the work while the installation is ongoing. Then if the installation goes wrong it prints the log of what has happened so far, and that contains the password. I have seen no indication that the password is kept after the installation has completed and operations are given over to Qubes-OS. I agree its rather sloppy, but as far as I know the installer has no option of reporting issues. I don’t even think you connect to the network at all (did you type your wifi password, I never did). So, lets allow the devs to fix this without making this into a bigger thing than it is. -- Tom Zander Blog: https://zander.github.io Vlog: https://vimeo.com/channels/tomscryptochannel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
