One-Click Password Visibility With jQuery - Toggle Password

Toggle Password is a lightweight jQuery plugin that enables a password visibility toggle button to easily switch between hiding and showing passwords while entering.

We've all mistyped a password, and having to re-enter it blindly is frustrating. The passwor toggle button provides immediate visual confirmation. This improves the user experience and reduces the chance of login errors.

How to use it:

1. Download and include the following JS & CSS files on your page.

  1. jQuery library and optionally Font Awesome Iconic Font
  2. Toggle Password plugin's JavaScript and Stylesheet
<!-- jQuery is required -->
<script src="/path/to/cdn/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- Font Awesome -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/font-awesome/all.min.css" />

<!-- Toggle Password Plugin -->
<link href="toggle-password.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="toggle-password.js"></script>

2. Wrap your password fields in a DIV container.

<div class="password-field">
  <input type="password" class="toggle-password" id="password" placeholder="Password">
</div>

3. Call the togglePassword() function on your password field:

$('.toggle-password').togglePassword({
  // options here
});

4. Override the default icons for show/hide states:

$('.toggle-password').togglePassword({
  show: 'fa-eye',
  hide: 'fa-eye-slash',
  base: 'fa fa-fw toggle-password-button'
});

5. Override the default CSS to create your own styles:

.toggle-password-button {
  float: right;
  margin-right: 11px;
  margin-top: -27px;
  position: relative;
  z-index: 2;
  cursor: pointer;
  pointer-events: auto;
  color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
  transition: all 200ms linear;
}

.toggle-password-button:hover {
  color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
}
