Mask content of title attribute in profile

[peterblazejewicz]

The title attribute contains the same sensitive information that is covered by blurred style.
Can the string replacement be used here? At least in the main navigation menu.

The below appears to implement the idea:

regex = /^(?:\b\w*\b:){1}(?:\s)(.*)$/gmi;
match = null;

while((match = regex.exec(title)) !== null) {
  group = match[1];
  newTitle = newTitle.replace(group, group.replace(/[\S]/g, '*'));
}

"Name: ***** ***********
Email: ***************************
Directory: ******* ******** **************************************
Domain: *************************************"

thanks!

Hi @peterblazejewicz thanks for taking the time to open and report this issue you're seeing. Could you share an example of where/which title attribute is in the portal showing this? It will help me better understand the issue.

Hi,
Yes, sure. The top navigation bar user info section:

This can be a tiny problem, assuming it is rarely triggered.

Thanks!

Me again and back to working on this project a bit :)

I'm trying to determine the best solution here as I'd like to also avoid storing any data that is hidden by the extension. Being that the nature of the extension is to just hide/show the sensitive data if we were to start replacing the sensitive data to hide it (such as in the possible solution to this issue) we'd need to know how to return it back when the extension is toggled off.

One solution I'm exploring and what I plan to use to resolve other title/tooltip masking issues (such as in #48) is to disable pointer-events. The downside of doing that here is you won't be able to access the user menu then.

I'm open to hearing other ideas and suggestions on how we can best resolve this as well. Please feel free to share here if you or anyone else has some.
