TYPO3 Core

Hi!

The new passwordGenerator option for TCA type=password is great. It would allow me to prevent creating own FormEngine Wizards.

However it currently is not usable for readable type=input fields. I would love to use the ability of passwordGenerator in addition to a passwordPolicy here.

This would allow me to define a TCA field for randomized access tokens very easily. The type=password TCA currently is not able to reveal "passwords", but that would be needed for backend editors to see the actual contents. Setting "hashed=false" sadly doesn't add a "reveal password" functionality.

I would love to offer trying to implement this, but want to know what direction to go:

A: Add configuration so that "password" fields with a "hashed=false" setting can show a button (just like for the passwordGenerator) that allows to reveal the current contents. I do not have much core-experience, it may be a problem to actually get/display the raw password at this place?

B: Add passwordGenerator ability to be used at least for type=input fields; there no masking of input would take place, and it could be used for randomizing tokens. passwordPolicy would also need implementation

C: ???
