When the “Use Strong Password?” dialog appears and I select “Not Now” to manually enter my own password, the password I type is displayed in plain text instead of being masked. Since the input field is of type="password", the entered characters should be hidden as is standard for password inputs.
Is there a way to prevent this behavior and ensure that the password is properly hidden even after dismissing the strong password suggestion dialog?
Is this in an app you're developing? If not, you're in the wrong place. These are the Developer Forums, where developers of apps for Apple's platforms ask each other for hints and tips on coding. Product support questions can be asked over at the Apple Support Forums.
However, there's a little icon there with an eye and a line over it. Tap that, and it should mask your password. This is standard across most password entry fields.
If I've misunderstood your issue, please reword it.
Thank you for your response and for pointing that out.
Just to clarify, I am a developer, and this issue is occurring within a product I am currently developing. I posted here because I believed it might be a bug or unexpected behavior related to the iOS system.
Regarding the eye icon — yes, I’m aware that it typically toggles password visibility. However, in this case, even when the “Use Strong Password?” dialog is dismissed by selecting “Not Now,” the password field continues to display the entered characters in plain text even after tapping the eye icon to hide them.
Interestingly, when the strong password dialog does not appear, the eye icon behaves normally — toggling between showing and hiding the password as expected.
I hope this clarifies my situation a bit more. Thank you again for taking the time to respond!
