ClickBlurLabel: Create a label which is blurred until it is clicked

This is particularly useful for people who stream their desktop and don't want to accidentally leak their IP or room.

I like this idea but blurring is problematic because it can be reversible with enough auxiliary information (eg. font and size). I would prefer to just have a blanked out or asteriked-out label with a 'click to reveal' thing next to it.

This cannot be reversed, since the blurred text is actually randomly generated gibberish :stuck_out_tongue:

Ah yup I see what you're doing. You're still revealing whether any character is a digit or not but yeah definitely much better than a naive blur. Personally I would still prefer an explicit [click to reveal] but I suppose I can live with this.

The blurring is cool, but I also think "Click to reveal" would be better/safer. A streamer could inadvertently mouse over the label and expose the text.

I'm not so sure about having text on top of the blur saying "click to reveal", but I've implemented click to reveal with the cursor showing the area is clickable
