The duplicate is listed above for the correct but more complicated way of doing this. In this answer, I am showing two examples. One with a CheckBox
and the other with the all-seeing eye. The eye is to use a StackPane
to layer the node. For the CheckBox
solution, put a TextField
and then a PasswordField
in the StackPane
. Bring the TextField
toFront
when the CheckBox
is checked and set its text using the PasswordField
. Clear the TextField
when the CheckBox
is not checked and move the PasswordField
toFront
. For the All-seeing eye
example, use the same ideas but add an ImageView
and always keep the ImageView
toFront
.
