Hide sensitive info mode

[ben-kaufman]

Add toolbar button to hide/ show "sensitive" information - like balances and data of txs and addresses.

I do not understand the reason why this hiding is useful. What threat model does it protect against?

• Sparrow or electrum don't hide amounts. AFAIK no other software wallet does this. And hardware wallets do an automatic logout.
• hiding everything makes specter unusable (except for receive addresses)... How should specter be used with hidden amounts?
• if you want to hide amounts, then log out (auto-log-out is already implemented) or close the application, where you have optional password protection.
• new users go panicky if suddenly nothing works any more and they don't know which button to press to make it visible again. I saw this happening, and it is not intuitive for users. This

  "autohide_sensitive_info_timeout_minutes": 20,

  should be "NEVER" by default

Let me look into that. I, personally, would also not enable it by default - at least without any proper notification on what is going on.

I agree, should be never by default.

@ben-kaufman : can you please explain?
