Reactions: can't switch back to enter secret manually once password was generate automatically
0%
Description
This is not a bug necessarily. More a design flaw.
Go to: System -> Reactions and click on the password generator button on the right-hand side of the input field for the "secret".
TYPO3 generates a random secret and disables the input field.
If backend users realize at this stage that the suggested secret does not meet their requirements, for example too long, too short, too cryptic, no special characters, etc. they don't have an option to switch back to manually enter a secret.
I understand that they can either discard the current configuration without saving it, and start again -- or to save the current configuration incl. the randomly generated secret and change it later by re-opening and editing the record.

Some background information:
- The secret can be configured by TCA settings, so an integrator can overwrite the rules
- The secret is generated once and stored encrypted, so make a secret visible or recover the last secret is impossible.
We added the hint: The secret is required to call the reaction from the outside. The secret can be re-created anytime, but will only be visible once (until the record got saved).
I think we can close the ticket, please comment if not, else I opt for closing the ticket in seven days.
