Introduction

Welcome to another tutorial on Easy Tutorials! In this video, we will learn how to Create a password input field with a toggle feature using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This is a common feature seen on many websites, where You can display and hide the password for added security. We will also update the icon to reflect the visibility status of the password. Let's get started!

Creating the HTML Structure

First, let's start by creating the basic HTML structure for our web page. We will add a title tag and a link tag to connect our HTML and CSS files. Then, we will add a div with the class name "input box" to contain our input field. Inside this div, we will create an input field with the Type set to "password" and a placeholder that displays the text "password". We will also include an icon that will be used to toggle the visibility of the password.

Styling the Input Field

In order to style the input field and make it visually appealing, we will add some CSS properties to the "input box" class in our CSS file. We will set the background color to white, the width to 90% with a maximum width of 500 pixels, and give it a border radius of 5 pixels for rounded corners. Additionally, we will add some padding and margin to create spacing inside and around the input box.

Adding the Toggle Password Feature

Now, let's add the functionality to toggle the visibility of the password using JavaScript. We will add an ID of "password" to the input field and an ID of "I icon" to the icon. Then, we will use JavaScript to detect when the icon is clicked. When the icon is clicked, it will call a function that checks the Current visibility status of the password. If the password is currently Hidden, it will change the type of the input field to "text" which will make the password visible. If the password is visible, it will change the type back to "password" to hide the password again.

Updating the Icon

To provide a visual cue for the visibility status of the password, we need to update the icon when the password is toggled. If the password is currently visible, we will change the source of the icon to an "I open" icon. If the password is hidden, we will change the source of the icon to an "I close" icon. This will allow the user to easily see whether the password is currently visible or hidden.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have successfully created a password input field with a toggle feature using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The user can now easily switch between displaying and hiding the password by clicking on the provided icon. This feature adds an extra level of security and convenience for the user.
