Android VKB saves and suggests passwords in plaintext

If you type your password in Android application, it saves it in word suggestions, and after some time it will start suggesting it right after you type first letter of it.
Which version of Sailfish OS are you running? it was supposed to be fixed in 1.0.1.12.

rainisto ( 2014-01-10 13:41:48 +0300 )editNot sure, my passwords are still saved, but they don't show up as first suggestions any more because of "remember password" option in most programs. Wouldn't like to reset whole device to get rid of those couple words. If there is some way to just reset/remove word suggestions i'm ready to try it.

jjyks ( 2014-01-11 22:00:44 +0300 )editIf Jolla now accurately detects password fields, could it be possible to remove passwords without resetting whole dictionary by comparing password field into dictionary, and removing word if it's present there?
