Summary
Users can toggle their password visibility on or off when logging in or creating an account.
Change Benefit
This feature enhances both security and usability. Users can check for typing errors by viewing their password, reducing login issues caused by mistyped characters. At the same time, the ability to hide the password helps maintain privacy, especially in public or shared spaces. This flexibility supports a smoother and more secure login experience.
