"Show password" feature: allow user to view the password he entered

[Sreejit7]

Got it. I would like to try this, would you please assign this to me?

[yann-yinn]

maybe it's time to consider moving password fields to their own component / partial to avoid dupplicated code, feel free to suggest what you think is the best :)

[yann-yinn]

yep we are sending mail on account creation / forgot password, so you need to configure a STMP. I'm using "send in blue" in France but maybe you can create a "mailgun" account for example ?

[Sreejit7]

I figured it out, it runs now! Thanks!

[yann-yinn]

merged !

[Sreejit7]

hey, could you please direct me to the file where this form is located?

[yann-yinn]

@Sreejit7 several places for now:

PS: form picture in the first comment of this issue is just an example from mailchimp site

[Sreejit7]

Thanks! Do you want to the default behavior of passwords to be hidden or visible?

[yann-yinn]

you're welcome ! Hidden by default

[Sreejit7]

yeah sure :)

Do I need to setup SMTP in SES for running the project? facing some error in running with regards to SMTP variables

[yann-yinn]

PS: or SES (this is aws solution isn't it ?), never used it so i don't know if they are providing SMTP or an API

[Sreejit7]

Thanks, I'll check it out. I've never used SES as well, but saw some SES related stuff in the .env file too, that's why I thought it might be needed.

[yann-yinn]

Oh I see, in the .env.example yes.

For now config/mail.ts is configured to "smtp" by default, so actually for now only those variables are used:

SMTP_HOST=<localhost>
SMTP_PORT=587
SMTP_USERNAME=<username>
SMTP_PASSWORD=<password>

[Sreejit7]

@yann-yinn I've added a solution that works for now, but the code is a lil ugly. I'll try to improve on it!
