Eye Icon for Revealing and Hiding Passwords

[perminder-17]

Increasing Access

The proposed feature entails the addition of a small eye icon next to password input fields within the application's user interface. Users would have the option to click on this icon, toggling between two states:

1. Password hidden
2. Password revealed

Feature enhancement details

1.Improved User Experience: This feature would enhance the overall user experience by providing an option to easily view the entered password, reducing frustration associated with mistyped or forgotten passwords during the login or registration process.

2.Enhanced Security: Despite the password being temporarily visible, this feature does not compromise security since it is under the user's control. Passwords would still be securely stored and transmitted as usual.

3.Accessibility: The eye icon would be particularly helpful for users with visual impairments who rely on screen readers. They can easily verify their entered password before submission.

@lindapaiste Can we work on this issue.??

Sure! FYI based on my quick googling it seems like the way to unobscure the text is by changing the <input> from type="password" to type="text" and back.

Just a note that we need to test this feature in Microsoft Edge and make sure that it works alongside the built-in behavior. We may need to hide the default eye with

::-ms-reveal {
    display: none;
}

It's probably more complicated to hide our eye and use the default one when in Edge.
