💡 Idea

The "Access Tokens" overview in the web GUI has a copy-to-clipboard button. However, this button does not seem to work in my browser(s).
Interestingly, I am experiencing the same issue with Gotify, where a popup appears with a "failed" message but no additional details.

Surprisingly, I couldn't find any existing bug reports about this. Is there something unusual on my end?

Regardless, here’s the second part of the issue, which is why I’m submitting this as an enhancement request:

Ntfy only partially displays the tokens, making it impossible to retrieve them manually.
The only method I have found so far is running "ntfy token list" via the command line.

Would it be an idea to adopt Gotify’s approach instead?
Display the token as a password field
Add an "eye icon" to reveal the full token

This would improve usability and consistency.

💻 Target components

  • Firefox on Android
  • Firefox on XFCE
  • Chrome on XFCE
  • Firefox on KDE

@x4x can you acutally copy the full token if you make it visible? Without the "copy to clipboard" button? The reveal feature is mostly pointless if you have to use the button
