Feature description
It would be nice to have a serif font where you can more easily discern an uppercase I from a lowercase l.
Why do you want this feature?
This is needed when I have to type in a password manually into another device.
Additional information
Maybe this should be done for all fields. Although people should know their usernames that isn't always the case.
Hello @bjoern-tantau, thank you for your feedback.
For passwords, the app already uses DejaVu Sans Mono, whic according to Wikipedia, is ideal for this case.
Below I attach a screenshot from the app, with a password that clearly tells appart 1 (one) from l (lowercase L) and I (uppercase i), as well as 0 (zero) from O (letter):
I don't think it would be necessary to also do it on usernames, since they don't usually are random like passwords, but feel free to debate me on this.
Cheers!
I just noticed for the first time that the password is revealed by clicking on it. I always revealed it by clicking edit and then on the eye-icon. So I guess I would want to have the font also be used in the edit-view.
I don't think that would make too much sense, since when typing a password you know what you are writing, and to check a password its easier to just go to the details and reveal it. It is the way that the Nextcloud app behaves, so I think it makes sense to leave it like that. Maybe a way to showcase the tap to reveal feature would be nice, since its not clear now, but I'm not sure what would be the best way.
Best regards!

Maybe put an eye-icon next to the copy-icon.
