How to fetch real password before revealing it?

[everwanna]

What's the best practice to do it?

I found that I have to write a subclass MyGenericPasswordCell of GenericPasswordCell and override the togglePasswordVisibility method. After that, I have to write a MyGenericPasswordRow, _GenericPasswordRow. The Eureka framework is not friendly to add new row type.

Actually, I just make visibilityButton public, and replace the target action.

Could you explain a bit more what you want to do?

My app cannot get user's password directly. It would fetch it remotely, decrypt it then show it when user touching the revealing button. Thanks!

Fetching the password remotely is not something this library does. You should do it independently and then set the value of the row to that password.

Well, I understand that. My problem is how can I hook the toggle action so I can fetch it remotely then reveal it to user.

Yeah in that case I think subclassing is the right way, to fetch the password and then revealing it, unless you are fine without changing togglePasswordVisibility.
You have a section about ]custom rows](https://github.com/xmartlabs/Eureka#custom-rows) in the Readme of Eureka and you can also follow the blog posts if you need help.

Thanks for your respond. I forked the source code and made visibilityButton public so I can replace its target action. It works well. 😄
