Show Password in field

I know this is not X related, but I don’t know where to turn to. I have used hideShowPassword plugin for a user to toggle between because people have a difficult time logging in sometimes, especially when they are dyslectic. But that plugin hasn’t been updated and within the last week it doesn’t show the “eye” anymore.

Does anyone have a solution? I’ve googled the heck out of this.

Hi @Kev,

Thank you for reaching out to us. WordPress core supports a similar password visibility toggle button on the login screen by default since version 5.3 (see screenshot)

If you’re not updated, I’d recommend you to update WP to the latest version to get this feature by default. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply, Nabeel. However, I am not directing people to the wp-login.php page because we are restricting content to logged in users and they get directed to a custom designed page with a log in function there. We use Theme My Login with their Redirect add-on to have people log in and redirected to a specific page.

Hey @Kev,

In that case a custom solution would be needed or a third party plugin might do a job. but regretfully custom development / third party support is outside the scope of support we can offer. You can try posting in Peers forum here https://theme.co/forum/c/peer maybe someone else has already implemented this.

Thank you for understanding!

Of course. I was actually hoping for a fellow X Pro user to assist. I’ve never had any luck with the peers forum.

However, I did find the fix for the showHidePassword plugin. I added this to the class-hide-show-password.php file. Works now. :slight_smile:

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, function() {
wp_enqueue_style( ‘dashicons’ );
});

Hey @Kev,

We’re glad you sorted it out and thank you for sharing with us.

Cheers!
