Manual

Just add the files in HideShowPasswordTextField/ to your project.

Usage

• Create a UITextField in your xib, and change the class name to HideShowPasswordTextField. Or, create it programatically.
• Set secureTextEntry to true, if you want the password to hide by default.
• [Recommended] Change the border style to None, and add a height constraint of 44 or larger. The assets in this project are optimized for 44px, although larger is fine too. Smaller sizes might have clipping issues on the icons.
• Implement UITextFieldDelegate and forward textField shouldChangeCharactersInRange and textFieldDidEndEditing to your password text field (see the example). We have to do this to get the behavior to work right--apple's API doesn't play very nice switching between secureTextEntry states.
  • This step is no longer necessary.
• [Optional] Implement HideShowPasswordTextFieldDelegate to show the validation checkbox.
• Customize the textField to your liking (the tint too!)!
