So these dialogs are indeed the same, from the same process, which is
what I expected. I really can't tell why Orca would treat them
differently... One would need to know how this works, and what may
happen in polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 that would change Orca's
behavior. But I can't help i

You have to explain how to do this now. I can tell you the people in the
room repeated my password back to me when authenticating Users and
Groups. The rest of the passwords were "asterisk asterisk asterisk" and
that got repeated too.

And you can swear me the dialog from users-admin is not behaving the
same as others?! The only thing users-admin does is asking the backends
(so it doesn't even do it by itself) to ask PolicyKit1 to authenticate

last character:

Weird. Both use PolicyKit. What if you run

If I run update-manager, the password is asterisks. That is, updating

None of the examples you cite are using PolicyKit actually. Try setting
a system connection using NetworkManager config tool for example, or
installing packages using updates-manager.

The above is incorrect. If I use gksu nautilus, the password is spoken
as asterisks, if I use sudo in a terminal, the password is asterisks, if
I login, the password is asterisks. If I run update-manager, the
password is asterisks. The only instance I have found that echoes the
password in clear la
users-admin knows nothing about this authentication dialog, it's run by
PolicyKit-gnome. So the bug must affect all dialogs.
You should report this to upstream if you really want it to be fixed.
