I’m the middle of building a new company website, something that will bring them into the 21st century. With that thought in mind, I need to develop a back end for employees to log in and update their own information. This is of course centered around their log in credentials.
So in the their “dashboard” they can update their password. But if they are like me, sometimes they type faster then they realize and might have hit different keys by mistake, so I thought I would give them the ability to show their password in readable characters if they wanted to. This allows them to check over what they have typed and verify they have what they want. I think it’s easier then using a double password field that just takes more time to fill in – but that’s just me.
