AuthHide
by Zsombi11
AuthHide keeps the password typed on authentication plugin login screens out of the visible chat history on Fabric.
What it does
When a player logs in to a server that uses an authentication plugin, the password can otherwise appear in the chat log and remain there to be scrolled back to. AuthHide hides the password as it is typed and prevents authentication commands from being written to the chat history, so the password does not persist in the visible log. Players can switch the protection on or off at any time with the authhide command, enable or disable, which takes effect at once.
The mod runs on the client alone, so it is installed only by players and is not needed on the server. It is published for Fabric and the 1.21.1 – 26.2 range, with 12 release versions in total, and the latest file, 1.2.1, targets 26.2. The interface text is available in English, Hungarian, German, French, Spanish and Russian. The code is public, but the mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Password masking
Characters typed into a login prompt are masked, so the password is not shown on screen while it is entered.
History protection
Authentication commands are kept out of the chat history, so the password is not stored where it can be scrolled back to.
Toggle at any time
The authhide command enables or disables the protection instantly, without restarting the game.
Multi-language interface
Interface messages are provided in English, Hungarian, German, French, Spanish and Russian.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who join servers protected by an authentication plugin and want their password kept out of the chat history. It is a client-side tool, so server owners do not need to install it for their players to use it.

Why? When playing on servers with authentication plugins, your password can accidentally appear in chat history if you press the up arrow key. AuthHide prevents this from happening!
