Introduction
Have you ever been frustrated with password fields that hide your password as you type? Wouldn’t it be great if you could easily toggle between hiding and showing your password with just a click of a button? Well, you’re in luck! In this blog post, we’ll explore how to implement a hide and show password feature using JQuery and an eye icon.
Why Hide and Show Password?
Password security is crucial for protecting our online accounts. However, entering a password without being able to see it can be inconvenient and prone to errors. By implementing a hide and show password feature, users can easily verify the accuracy of their passwords before submitting them, enhancing the overall user experience.
