Hey team,

Please share a snippet to make an eye button to make passwords visible while logging in from hovepress login page.

Hi @carcraze,

Unfortunately, adding a password visibility toggle (eye icon) to show/hide passwords is not currently a built-in feature in HivePress. This would require custom implementation using JavaScript and CSS.

However, this feature is planned for future updates, along with a password strength indicator, so it should be available natively in an upcoming version.

If you need this functionality now, you have two choices:

  1. Wait for the official update - The HivePress team is working on adding this feature in a future release

  2. Custom implementation - If you’re familiar with coding or can hire a developer, you can implement this feature using custom JavaScript to:

    • Add an eye icon element next to the password field
    • Toggle the password input type between “password” and “text” on click
    • Style it to match your form design

If customizations are required, you can:

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
Chris :victory_hand:

I was just wondering the same thing.

Will the update require double registration? Or will it be possible to view the password requirements there?

Best regards,

Hi @Marcel1987,

I’m not HivePress staff, but no, neither of these updates would require users to have to sign up again.

I don’t know how complex the logic for it will be once implemented, but if there was Admin settings to force users to use a secure password, you could in theory force users to update their passwords to meet the new requirements before being allowed to access the site, but like I said, I’ve no idea how this will be eventually implemented.

The password visibility setting is simply a small toggle switch (usually an eye icon) which when clicked reveals the password that’s being typed in. It can be useful if you want to double check that you’ve not entered your password incorrectly.

The eye toggle is typically seen on sign-in forms, and sometimes on password reset forms, too.

The password strength indicator is usually displayed as a bar/line that continues to fill up as you increasingly make your new password more secure. (Increasing the length, adding a mix of lowercase and capital letters, numbers and symbols.)

The indicator is typically seen on registration forms, or password reset forms.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

Hi,

Currently, there is no such feature, but thank you for the suggestion. We have this feature on the roadmap and will implement it in future updates.

If you don’t mind, I’ll move your request to a feature request.
