Unmask Password

Unmask Password provides a new type of password element for the Forms API. This new password element ('#type' => 'unmask_password') inserts a password field in your form with a checkbox below it which can be used to unmask (show) the entered password. This field provides a way for the user to check what the user has entered in the password field for confirmation before submission so that corrections can be made if need be.

Note: this module is a solution to usability issues related to password fields. unmask_password field can be used at the time of registration, login and anywhere else where a user is required to enter a password.
