Hello,

It’s called #:input-hide-checkbox? AFAICS.

You can double-check that it builds without warnings with:

  guix system vm -v2 gnu/system/install.scm

Please add a “Partly fixes …” line.  This fixes both the password length
and the password visibility issues since ‘run-input-page’ will now use
FLAG-SCROLL.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
