Is there a way to configure Ignition to always show the "eye" icon (for revealing passwords) when logging in, regardless of the browser or workstation used? For example, in **Internet Explorer** , this feature is available intermittently, but it doesn’t seem to work in **Google Chrome**. Is there a specific setting or configuration within Ignition that can ensure this behavior is consistent across all browsers and on Ignition workstations? ---

Ignition doesn't pre-fill any passwords, so it has no idea what your request even means. Internet Explorer has been obsolete since 2022, so you should probably do some updates. Internet Explorer also doesn't use webkit for rendering so I would be surprised if React based frameworks for frontends even work on it, let alone expecting perspective to work. Chrome manages passwords internally on the browser password manager, so any "eye" icon is actually a part of the chrome implementation of password management on the webkit engine that renders the webpage. Ignition workstation login is possibly the only place you could implement this from an Ignition side, but I don't believe its ever been a feature. ---

I want to say Microsoft Edge not Internet Explorer ---

Either way, this is a function of the Browser, not Ignition. ---

Same explanation as Chrome for Edge. The browser is the only thing that controls the "Eye". ---

What about the workstation ? ---

I'm not entirely sure on workstation, IA may have some control there. I have not used workstation, and do not expect to anytime in the near future. ---

Workstation is just a Chromium wrapper, so if it were even possible it would depend on Chromium supporting it. ---

I don't think the "eye" is a function of the browser used at all. Typically, this is programmed into the login page to do this. It has nothing to do with auto-fill which is separate and reliant on the browser. I'm not saying the browser couldn't natively support it on its own, but building it into a page would guarantee availability. ---

I think the general functionality can both be implemented explicitly by the client side, and also that some browsers support it.
