# RCON Password Display on Server Detail Page — Design
**Goal:** Show the RCON password on the server detail page with a show/hide toggle.
**Architecture:** Presentational change only. The `server.rcon_password` field already exists in the database and is rendered via Jinja2 autoescaping into the template. A small external JS file provides the reveal/hide interaction via delegated click on `[data-password-toggle]` attributes — no inline handlers.
**Files touched:**
- `l4d2web/static/js/password-reveal.js` — new, ~15 lines
- `l4d2web/templates/server_detail.html` — add one row to `.server-info` DL
- `l4d2web/templates/base.html` — add script include
- `l4d2web/static/css/components.css` — optional, add `.password-mask` letter-spacing if default renders poorly
---
## Template
Add after the blueprint row in `server_detail.html` (line 13):
```html
<div>
<dt>RCON Password</dt>
<dd>
<span class="password-mask" data-password-field="{{ server.id }}">••••••••••••</span>
<span class="password-value" data-password-field="{{ server.id }}" hidden>{{ server.rcon_password }}</span>
<button class="link-button" data-password-toggle="{{ server.id }}" aria-label="Show RCON password">show</button>
</dd>
</div>
```
## JavaScript (`password-reveal.js`)
Delegated click listener on `[data-password-toggle]`. Toggles `hidden` between the mask span and value span, updates button text and aria-label.
```js
document.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
const btn = e.target.closest('[data-password-toggle]');
if (!btn) return;
const id = btn.dataset.passwordToggle;
const mask = document.querySelector(`[data-password-field="${id}"].password-mask`);
const value = document.querySelector(`[data-password-field="${id}"].password-value`);
const hidden = value.hidden;
value.hidden = !hidden;
mask.hidden = hidden;
btn.textContent = hidden ? 'hide' : 'show';
btn.setAttribute('aria-label', hidden ? 'Hide RCON password' : 'Show RCON password');
});
```
## CSS
Reuse existing `.link-button` for the toggle button. If the bullet characters render inconsistently across browsers (spacing, baseline), add a simple `.password-mask { letter-spacing: 0.15em; }` class — but likely unnecessary.
## Security
- Password is server-rendered via Jinja2 autoescaping — no XSS vector.
- Visible in page source to the server owner (consistent with existing auth model: user must own the server).
- No copy-to-clipboard functionality (per requirements).
## Testing
No new tests required — purely presentational change. Existing `test_create_server_generates_rcon_password` in `test_servers.py` already covers password generation.
