Hello, this is actually the inverse of the problem in #16. Essentially, on Linux, password fields inside of extension popups cause the popup to automatically close. This is a bug in Firefox. As a quick fix, I changed the password field to a normal text field to prevent the extension from breaking on Linux until I could figure out a better solution.

Hello, I've fixed this in v1.3.2. It should now hide the password again (except on linux, where it will still show the password).

On Linux it still show's the password. Why wasn't this fixed?

@Mebus There was a bug in Firefox a while back that caused extensions with password inputs in their popups to close immediately on Linux (see #16). I added a workaround to make the extension actually usable. The bug in Firefox seems to be fixed now though, so the workaround will be removed in the next version, which I will hopefully finish soon.

I have Firefox 87 on Linux Mint 20.1. With add-on version 1.3.2 it is still clear text password entry.

I am using RHEL 8.3, firefox 78.10.0esr (64-bit). I also see the clear password, and also it seems to not generate the correct MFA code? (compared to a phone app, which does generate the correct code)

No issue on Firefox 115 on Windows.
