https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1222982 Bug ID: 1222982 Summary: autoyast ask password no repeat Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.5 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Leap 15.5 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: AutoYaST Assignee: yast2-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: lars.bohl@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hello, we could not figure out a good way to "ask" for a password. In this case, the user needs to input an existing password, not create a new one. Background information: If our pre-script detects a luks partition, we need to open it, to see if any logical subvolumes exist. On system upgrade, we want to preserve a logical subvolume with a certain label. The other subvolumes of the luks partition will be used for root and swap, so they will be erased. Current workaround (not ideal): Either use a "<password>" or use a basic text "ask". Both are not ideal. With a "<password>" field, the user has to type the password twice, which is unnecessary and confusing for a password input. The "basic text" approach is also not ideal, because the user will see their password on the screen as they type it. Note: We've been using this documentation: https://doc.opensuse.org/projects/autoyast/ We could not find a link to the source repository of the autoyast tool there. Thank you for any suggestions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
