Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records hideShowPassword version 2.0.1 as active, updated 8y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.9.

Overview

About this plugin

Lets you easily show or hide the contents of the password field on the WordPress login screen. Uses the excellent hideShowPassword jQuery plugin by the equally excellent Cloud Four.

Options

A settings section is added to the ‘General Settings’ page. You can select between toggling password visibility via an icon in the password field (default) or via a checkbox below the password field.

Translations

The default setting of toggling the password via an icon in the password field does not require translation as no text will be visible to the user. If you select the option of toggling the password via a checkbox, the following translations are included:

  • Dutch
  • German
