The mailing list for users of the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

[Ayres G.J. <g.j.ayres AT swansea.ac.uk>]

Hello,

The android CAT app, like the other OS installers, follow the same
methodology the native OS uses.
Android only asks a user to enter a password once natively, so the app does
the same.
Same with Windows and Apple if you use the native interface, I believe.

Maybe an option to allow a user to see the password they type, would be more
suitable?
Android has this feature in its native Wi-Fi setup interface.
