Show and Hide Password Field Text using jQuery

In this tutorial, I will give you an example of the “show and hide password by click on the eye using jquery in Html form“, So you can easily apply it with your application.

Show and hide password by click on eye using jquery in html form

When we work on Html forms like log in or register, sometimes we need to create a password hide and show functionality in a password text field for creating a better user experience and application requirements.

The Password field by default doesn’t show any visible text other than the symbol,

Some websites allow the user to view the hidden text in the password field by toggling, For this, they provide an element like a checkbox or a button or an icon when it gets clicked then the password element value is been visible on the screen and reset to the default view when it again gets clicked.

So, let’s implement this functionality with jQuery in the register form.
