I have gone back to IE9 several times because I don't want this IE10 feature. How do I turn it off?
Hi ,
The
Fermata eye like symbol ( the password reveal button ) have been introduced in Windows 8/W7 IE10 . I believe this feature is mainly for the users who are using the Windows Tablets
. It is quite difficult to retype to whole password if he made a mistake . So that I believe it should be mainly for the Windows 8 tablet users . Using the feature a user wouldn't have to delete the entire password and start all over again if he believes
that he has made a mistake
However, some desktop and laptop users might feel that this feature can come in the way of their security and in that case disabling it altogether would be the best option. So lets see how you can disable the reveal password button throughout Windows
easily.
To remove the Password reveal option in Windows 7 . You must have to add the key in the Windows Registry to do this , you should follow my instructions.
Step 1 : Open Notepad .
Step 2 :Paste the contents in the notepad
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"DisablePasswordReveal"=dword:00000001
Step 3 : Save it as DisablePasswordReveal.reg
Step 4 : Double click or open the file , Accept it and restart the PC and check .
Please Revert me back if you need my help . hope this helps .
