Use unambiguous typeface
Missing feature
When viewing passwords on the display:
- Zero and capital oh look the same.
- Lowercase ell and capital aye look the same, and similar to the numeral one.
Justification
It is very frustrating when entering a long randomly generated password manually on a device.
Workarounds
- Open Multicute.
- Download password.
- Copy to text editor.
- Change font.
- Take photo on phone.
- Carry phone over to device.
This shouldn't need a thumbs up. Using a non-ambiguous typeface for something as important as this should be taken as standard. This isn't an enhancement request, it's a bug report.
can't agreee more. imo the small L should have a small tail after it like several monospace fonts offer, equall the big i should have 2 bars top/bottom also a feature of many mono fonts. also in many fonts the big o is just wider than the zero, although if we just wanna make a mono space font the zero could be filled up with something, be it a dot, a slash or whatever really
"0O1Il" Even in this example font Il or is it lI look the same. The 5 characters need to be visually unique. I grew up with a slash through the zero 0, capital i (I), lower case L (l) and the number one (1) should also be distinct.
I fully share the sentiment by the other commentors.
