Component
A Password component, in UX, serves as a crucial interface element designed to streamline the process of creating and inputting secure passwords.
One of the key features of a Password component is the inclusion of Password strength indicators, which offer visual cues to users regarding the robustness of their chosen passwords. These indicators typically assess factors such as length, complexity, and the presence of special characters.
Additionally, Password components often incorporate visibility toggles, giving users the option of revealing or hiding their password entries as they type.
