CAPS-LOCK warning in password input

[Markus Roth]

Hi all,

it would be nice to have an alert if the caps lock is activated while I'm entering a password.

As my passwords for websites consists of upper and lower case characters, I often accidentally activate the caps lock while entering a password and unfortunately I do not recognize.

For example: the windows 7 login displays a warning if caps lock is activated. I want to have a similar warning to be displayed in chrome.

Best regards

Markus

I agree that this should be built into all of the browsers, across operating systems. As it turns out, Chrome supports (or supported it, until it regressed) it only on Macintosh.

You can star crbug.com/6403 for the rest of the platforms.

As a workaround, you can create an extension and use the soon enhanced (starting Chrome 48 or something, I think) KeyboardEvent.getModifierState() or MouseEvent.getModifierState() to find out whether Caps Lock is on and show a message on your own.

I realize you may not be a developer and that this is a harsh workaround, but this is the best I can offer. :(
