View password (eye)
Please provide a way to look at the password you are typing when logging in to FamilySearch on the computer, tablet, or phone. Other apps provide an eye icon to the right of the password line which allows you to check to see if you have typed in the correct password

Workaround: type the password in your favorite text editor, then copy-and-paste into the password field.

Thanks for your comment Julia, but I want it to be straightforward

There are lots of browser add-ons that'll do this for you. Here's the first hit Mr. Google provided: https://www.guidingtech.com/57636/extensions-chrome-firefox-unhide-pwd

I was just going through some comments in the general area and noticed that someone in the Lehi FamilySearch Center is having the same problem. I have worked with a lot of patrons who come into the St. George FamilySearch Center. It is usually the hardest part of our day, helping the patrons get logged onto FamilySearch. Even when they know their password it is difficult. Many of the missionaries feel the same way. If we could just get the eyeball they can see what they are typing in and get it right. Patrons get frustrated, locked out and decide to just go home because they can't get into FamilySearch. Please help us with this issue. Thank you for letting me vent.

it would be a good idea and will save time with the patrons.

The amount of up-votes this suggestion has received speaks for itself.
Ignoring this option (found on many websites I use) is really down to the programmers' empathy - and I'm talking not just about FamilySearch, but the other websites that refuse to make it available.
As my dear grandmother used to say, "You'll grow old one day!"
Would it honestly be too much effort to allow us seniors (and others) to have the option of seeing what we are entering as we type our password?

It would be nice to be able to view your password, especially since you only have 3 times to type in your password before the system locks you out for some time. We have patrons who come into our FamilySearch Center and they are so excited, but can't remember their password/or miss a letter when they type it in, but don't have an opportunity to see where the error is.

There certainly can't be any policy against this. The main Church website includes this feature:
And the minority of FamilySearch users who have a church account can use that sign in which uses the above password screen instead of the regular FamilySearch sign in form.
