Hi,

When typing passwords in password input fields in Internet Explorer or Edge it is possible to temp preview the characters by clicking the "eye"-icon. So you can check it for typos.

Is this possible in Firefox too?

Thanks!

Chosen solution

There's no built-in feature for this but you could consider an extension. This was the first one I found in a search but there may be others. I haven't tried it myself:

Thanks! This - at least - is a reasonable solution ;-)

Is there a way to post a feature request somewhere?

Oh yes, many places, depending on whether you want more of a "suggestion box" or a discussion:
