multiple on one page

[DarinBeard]

I think from a 30 second peek at the code that this can only be used for one input on the page because it is targeting the button by a specific ID. Or am I wrong?

heya- it doesn't target the input based on the ID (since v1.1.0).

Though it isn't intended to be used on more than 1 on a page. I can't think of a valid use-case where that would be necessary. Could you let me know why you'd want more than one on a page? You should never be able to see other users passwords since they wouldn't/shouldn't be stored in plain-text.

Sure. I have a form for creating an account and it has a password, confirm password and security answer fields that I wanted to have a show/hide button for.

I think if you have a 'show password toggle' button then maybe you won't need a confirm password input?

There is research showing that confirm password fields is bad UX. e.g.

Ya, I agree about confirm password, I was giving scenarios where multiple might be needed. Still the security answer though.

Hello what about changing passwords like input old password then have an input for new password would be nice to have it on more then one input
