IOS displays password for cameras

[NathanH]

Can someone tell me why on the IOS version of the app, you are able to view the password for each IP camera? This is such a huge security risk. All you need is the S/N, user, and password and you can gain access to the cameras and it's literally all right there on the same screen. However, for the android app, the password cannot be viewed/unhidden. Can we implement this for the IOS version of the app? I've been waiting for an update to fix that.

Humm I guess you don't have an Android? I say this because I have both iOS and Droid phones and all of them have the little EYE.. Please press the eye and it will hide the Password... Yeah lets take away something that can help.. I do tell everyone I setup not to give out their cell phones and let people have access without watching.. Really you know how much data is in a CELL phone.. You know most people store cc, pw and all sorts of things in them.. I had someone that was in a bad breakup think they were Hacked because they didn't have a Password for their cellphone and his daughters Ex got passwords off his laptop and cell phone and didn't do anything that he knew while they were still together but I told him more then likely he dabbled while still together. After they brokeup His Garage door was opened after he knew he closed it and some other things...

By the way anytime you go to a Coffee Shop that has cameras you are at risk if you use there Wifi

I'm not sure if you're against or for what I'm saying. I want the feature where you can press the eye symbol to reveal the password to be removed so that if someone happens to take your phone and knows how Amcrest works, will not be able to know what the password is. At least hide one of the three information needed to access the cameras.

That's interesting because a relative of mine has Android and his does not show the eye symbol at all which is nice. I want that feature too

Yeah I don't know I just installed it on another android that I own thinking that maybe it would not put in the new app however it did...

So here is somethings that I wonder... Are you sure he or she was using the Amcrest Pro App? I ask because ever since I owned Amcrest Camera and used the App that I can remember it has always had the Eye?

Now I have not used the Cloud App or the Amcrestview app for long time and maybe they were using one of them apps or yet another app for accessing the cameras?

Even my 5 year old device has the little eye icon on the password... Even the Smart App for the new line of things like the Doorbell has the eye...

The ios app called Amcrest View Pro for tablets does not show PW or have a eye, and hasn't been updated in 3+ years. Maybe it works on iphone. It's on my wife's ipad along with the other ios view pro app. I use android devices which have eyes.

Same here - iPad shows no eye whereas iPhone does.

Are you guys for removing that feature? I don't really see a point in having it there. With the screenshot feature, someone can just screenshot once and quickly send it out now.
