phpBB Show Hidden Password

Description

Displays a toggle button in the password field that allows you to make the hidden password visible. Important security measures have been built into the behavior of the toggle button to protect the user's password entry.

• The show password button is not available until the user enters text in the password field.
• When the password input field loses focus, the browser removes the password display button.
• The button is not displayed when it is filled by the password manager.
• When the password display button is removed, the user must clear the contents of the password input field to make the password display button appear again.
