in thread show/hide an Entry field

Would you care to come up with 300+ passwords every 6 months that are a minimum of 12 characters, 2 uppercase, 2 lowercase, 2 special characters, 2 numeric with no more than three of any type together? And remember them? And never repeat any password for 24 months? I already created an LDAP GUI to assist in running commands in four domains and using the Perl-Tk GUI to change those 300+ passwords in 4 LDAP domains saves A LOT of time. If I can verify that the copy/paste is correct, that would also save a lot of time.

    One person with 300+ passwords?

    If that is the case, why hide the passwords at all?

    Why wouldn't the passwords be identical ? If copy/paste can fail, how can you trust Tk to hide/show without corrupting... how can you trust any part of the program?
