In a Mendix page, you can use a text box and say "Show as password". When you chose that, the entered text (password) is not visible.
The user expects a button like "show password", or the "eye" icon to show the password readable.
I know that this is also a browser feature (using the same application login in chrome or firefox doesn't show such an icon, but using it in edge, it does).
However, we would like to have that feature added to the password text box as a standard (part of the component). As soon as you use a text box as password text box, the user should be able to show the text readable (or maybe even configurable if so).
Thanks Mohamed for the reply, I will try that out!
Short answer: Mendix doesn't have this built-in natively, but there are a few solid approaches.
Option 1: Use the ToggleShowPassword Marketplace Widget
There is a community-built widget called ToggleShowPassword (component ID 118581 by Incentro) available on the Mendix Marketplace Mendix specifically for this use case. It adds a show/hide toggle to password fields. Search for "ToggleShowPassword" in the Marketplace directly from Studio Pro.
Option 2: Use the LoginForm Widget (for login pages specifically)
The LoginForm widget by Mendix Labs includes a built-in Show/mask password toggle — a toggle button to show/mask the password — along with a configurable "Show password button caption." GitHub If your use case is a login page, this is an all-in-one solution.
Option 3: Build it yourself with a Pluggable Widget
