Conversation
Changed TMDB API key input fields from `type="text"` to `type="password"` with `autoComplete="off"` to prevent the API key from being visually exposed or inappropriately saved by browser autofill mechanisms. Co-authored-by: bobdivx <6737167+bobdivx@users.noreply.github.com>

Code Review
This pull request addresses a sensitive credential exposure vulnerability by changing the TMDB API key input fields in TmdbConfig.tsx and TmdbStep.tsx from plain text to masked password fields with autoComplete="off". The reviewer recommends using autoComplete="new-password" instead of autoComplete="off" because modern browsers often ignore the latter on password fields, which could lead to unwanted autofill of user credentials.

Using autoComplete="off" on a type="password" input is often ignored by modern browsers (such as Chrome, Safari, and Firefox) to protect password manager functionality. This can cause the browser to automatically autofill the user's saved login credentials (like their site password) into this TMDB API key field, or prompt them to save the dummy/masked key as their account password.
To reliably prevent autofill on sensitive token/key inputs, use autoComplete="new-password" instead.

Using autoComplete="off" on a type="password" input is often ignored by modern browsers to protect password manager functionality. This can lead to the browser autofilling the user's site login credentials into the TMDB API key field.
Using autoComplete="new-password" is the standard and most reliable way to instruct browsers and password managers not to autofill existing credentials into this field.

🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: The application was rendering TMDB API keys in plain text
<input type="text">fields within theTmdbConfigandTmdbStepcomponents. This leaves sensitive credentials vulnerable to physical exposure (shoulder surfing) and unauthorized capture via screen sharing or potentially rogue browser extensions.🎯 Impact: An attacker who obtains a user's API key can perform unauthorized actions and consume quota associated with the TMDB account.
🔧 Fix: Modified the input components in
src/components/settings/TmdbConfig.tsxandsrc/components/setup/steps/TmdbStep.tsxto usetype="password"and addedautoComplete="off"to ensure browsers do not mistakenly offer to save or autofill the API key.✅ Verification: Verified using
pnpm testandpnpm build. Added a learning to.jules/sentinel.mdregarding input field types for sensitive data.PR created automatically by Jules for task 10337575705692383388 started by @bobdivx
