Password Interface

About

This was first written in JQuery for Cure Interactive's first official website, where I wanted to have a more modern system for the password input fields for user login. This login page was never extended to end users but was work that I was proud of. I have since rewritten it in JavaScript.

Examples

Password Input As Normal

Password Input With Feedback And Show Password Control

*iOS has its own Shift and CapsLock indicators in the keyboard so only the "Show Password" control is used on those devices. iOS also has it's own capslock indicator in the input field but it forgets the capslock state whenever the show password button is pressed/released, so that is hidden as well.

Simulating Autofill

Try to prevent people from stealing autofill passwords.

The Code

HTML

<div class="login login-feedback">
  <div class="login__intro">Please enter your username and password:</div>
  <div class="login__input login__username clearfix">
    <label for="username-feedback">Username:</label>
    <div class="login__input__container">
      <input type="username" name="username-feedback" value="" placeholder="Username">
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="login__input login__password clearfix">
    <label for="password-feedback">Password:</label>
    <div class="login__input__container login__password__icons-container">
      <input class="password__feedback" type="password" name="password-feedback" value="" placeholder="Password">
      <div class="login__password__icons noselect">
        <div class="login__password__icon login__password__icons__shift noselect login__password__icon--hidden" title="Shift key was ON" ></div>
        <div class="login__password__icon login__password__icons__capslock noselect login__password__icon--hidden" title="Caps-Lock is ON!" ></div>
        <div class="login__password__icon login__password__icons__show noselect login__password__icon--hidden" title="Show Password" onclick="return false;">
          <a href="#" title="Show Password">
            <div class="login__password__icon"></div>
          </a>
        </div>
      </div>
