On signup page, there is no hide/unhide button to hide or unhide password. Having hide/unhide button help the users check their entered passwords to make sure that they did not make a mistake while they were typing their password.

What browser are you using?
I just checked on Edge and Chrome:
- Edge works as expected
- Chrome doesn’t, there’s no ‘show password’ button.
(would have also liked to check Firefox but I’m at work and don’t have it installed on this machine sadly)
Thanks for your checking.
I checked it on:
1- Safari
2- Chrome
3- Firefox
On all the above browsers, there is no “show password” button.
Should I create an issue in the repo on GitHub?
This feels like a feature you’d like adding, rather than a bug to me. Do I understand correctly?
In fact, there is a “show password” button when you are using Microsoft Edge browser. So, it is not a new feature. It is a bug that occurs on the browsers that I have mentioned.
Note that, to see this button on Microsoft Edge, you should write something in passwords field.
I don’t understand how this can be a bug. I’ve not written any code around show password. If one browser adds a feature, and the others don’t, I’m not sure how that’s a bug I can get around?
If you have not written any code around show password, maybe the hide/unhide password on Microsoft Edge comes from its features. I am not sure whether any browser has this kind of feature or not.
Finally, you have not written any code around it, so it can be considered as a new feature.
So, this doesn’t appear to be a standard feature of <input type="password"> and Edge probably has some special functionality to deal with this.
Hence, I would classify it as a feature request, rather than a bug.
As far as I can tell ,the easiest way to deal with this would be some kind of button/toggle/svg/whatever that has an onmousedown event handler and a js function to toggle the type of the input field between password and text
