Overview

I am a blind user, using Keepassxc with Orca under Linux. When I type in passwords (unlocking database, entering new record), they are spoken aloud. Ideally each character should be spoken only as "asterisk" or something like that. I believe this could be fixed easily with QT.
This is not a good security practice. Someone could overhear my password.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start unlocking database
  2. Turn on Orca screenreader under Linux.
  3. Start typign password
  4. You will hear it pronounced char by char.

Expected Behavior

Asterisk or other symbols pronounced

Actual Behavior

actual characters are pronounced

Context

Linux
Mate
X11

This is either a Qt or an Orca bug.
