Questions about updating prices or transactions in Fund Manager

Postby Mary Kennedy » Sat Oct 19, 2019 10:49 am

I have a shaky-hand problem and often make mistakes when typing. FM creates a problem for me because it will not show me what I just typed. This seems like excessive protection ( Who uses FM while at Starbucks?) Is there a way I can change this setting so that I can see what I just typed? Once I make three consecutive mistakes, my broker locks me out and I have to change it yet again.

Hi Mary Kennedy,

Thanks for pointing out this problem. Unfortunately there is currently no way to display the contents typed into a password edit box. This is something we can try to offer in the future.

One work-around you might try... Try entering your password into a text document, like Notepad. You can then select it, and use copy, and paste it into Fund Manager where you're typing a password. This way you can see what you've typed before copying/pasting it, and copying/pasting should avoid any typos.
Thanks,
Mark

great idea! Thank you. Meantime, I do recommend you enable viewing. Like I said, I doubt if your users are sitting in Starbucks or using public computers at their local library, so you really don't need to be that secure!
