This seems like a security issue. What if you're typing a password quickly and hit Enter but it turns out that focus was in Discord or something?
- jitl 2y agoHow’s this any different from saying “2 monitors is a security issue, what if you’re typing a password but Discord on monitor 2 was in focus”? Typically when I’m typing my password into an input on any platform, I’m looking at the password input, and if it loses focus, I’m going to notice. On most OSs these days (including macOS), native password inputs are rendered by an elevated privilege secure process, and focus stealing behavior is disabled while the password input is on-screen.
