Blinking cursor on login screen: Can barely see it

[RikOz]

Would it be possible to change the color of the blinking cursor in the Account Name/Account Password fields of the game's login screen? As it stands now, at least for me on Windows 10, it's a white cursor on a white background, and nearly impossible to see. I mentioned my OS because I don't know if the cursor color is hardcoded in the game, or if it's taking its cue from the OS. The poor visibility often leaves me typing my password and either nothing happens, or it turns out I'm tagging it onto the end of my account name.

On my Windows 10 system, it's bright white on light/medium grey.  The contrast could be higher, but it's plainly visible.

Here's what I see:

 

 

 

Blown up 2x - easier to see, but still not much contrast:

Make the input cursor dark grey or black and call it good. That should help.

As a work around, you could do what I do.

I copy my password, click on the password field, and paste my password in.

 

If someone else uses the computer, you could just type - into notepad - copy it, close notepad, don't save, click in the password field, and paste the password into the password field.

If you have a password manager,  it probably as a notes area in the passwords listings. If you store your access to this website there, you could just go into the notes on that listing and put your password to log into the game there.

Lots of options of how to hide a password by disguising what it "is" and "for" your computer as well.

The password itself isn't the problem, it shows up in dark blue (as dots, of course), just like the  account name. The problem is that the blinking cursor is white against a light gray background, which renders it nearly invisible to me and makes it difficult to tell whether or not I have actually selected the password field.

 

The cursor is a bit easier to see when looking at it straight-on, as in my screenshots, but on the actual login screen, the field is off to the right, which probably contributes to my visibility issue.
