Show or hide every password field in Odoo
Password Visibility Toggle adds a single, consistent eye-icon toggle to the backend login, the Change Password dialog, and every website and portal password field — so typos get caught before a failed login, not after.
Odoo ships no native show/hide toggle on most password fields, so a single typo means a failed login or an abandoned signup form — and on Odoo 18 and 17, the backend, login, and portal forms give no way to check what was typed at all. Existing marketplace apps each cover only one surface, forcing teams to hunt for version-matched, single-purpose modules or pay for website-only add-ons that offer nothing extra.
Password Visibility Toggle adds one consistent eye-icon toggle everywhere a password is entered — backend login, My Profile change-password, and every website and portal form — in a single install. An admin master switch, an auto-hide security timer, a keyboard shortcut, and full ARIA labelling ship together, and the toggle never touches browser or password-manager autofill.
Everything a password field needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
One install, every surface
Covers backend login, My Profile change-password, and every website and portal password field — no separate module per surface.
Standard eye-icon convention
A familiar fa-eye / fa-eye-slash button appears next to the field, so users recognise it instantly with zero training.
Admin master switch
Turn the toggle on or off instance-wide from Settings whenever a security policy calls for it.
Auto-hide security timer
Configure a revealed password to automatically re-mask after N seconds — built for shared or public terminals.
Keyboard shortcut
Press Alt+Shift+P while a password field is focused to reveal or hide it without touching the mouse.
Accessible by design
Every toggle carries an ARIA label, aria-pressed state, and a tooltip, and is fully keyboard-operable as a real button.
Password-manager safe
Only the input's type attribute is toggled and a sibling button is added — name, id, and autocomplete stay untouched, so browser and password-manager autofill keep working.
Self-healing coverage
A mutation observer watches the page and re-applies the toggle to fields added later, including dynamically rendered dialogs.
Translatable labels
Toggle tooltips and ARIA labels are built with Odoo's translation system, so they follow your database's active languages.
How it works
Install the app
Add Password Visibility Toggle to your database — no other module is required.
Configure in Settings
Enable the toggle and set an optional auto-hide timer under Settings > Password Visibility.
Toggle appears automatically
Every password field on the backend, login, and website picks up the eye icon automatically, including fields added later.
Reveal, check, hide
Click the icon, or press Alt+Shift+P, to check what was typed before submitting the form.
See it in action
Masked, revealed, and the admin controls behind it.
By default every password field stays masked, just like today — the eye icon sits ready at the edge of the input.
One click — or Alt+Shift+P — reveals exactly what was typed, so a typo is caught before the form is submitted.
Admins control the feature from Settings > Password Visibility: a master on/off switch and an auto-hide-after-N-seconds timer for shared terminals.
Frequently asked
Does this work on the Odoo login page?
Yes. On Odoo 18 and 17, where the login page has no native toggle at all, this module adds one. On Odoo 19, where some fields already have a native toggle, the module detects and skips them so you never see a duplicate icon.
Will it break browser or password-manager autofill?
No. The toggle only switches the input's type attribute between password and text and adds a sibling button — it never changes the field's name, id, or autocomplete attribute, or replaces the input, so saved- password autofill keeps working.
Can I turn the toggle off, or auto-hide a revealed password?
Yes. Settings has a master enable/disable switch and an auto-hide-after-N-seconds timer that automatically re-masks a revealed password — useful on shared or public terminals.
Does this require the Website module?
No. The module depends only on Web, so backend-only installs stay lightweight. Website and portal password fields are still covered automatically because those pages already load the same asset bundle the toggle injects into.
